__label__wiki	0.925755	0.925755	Giving the US-backed MILF its substate EDITORIAL 08/31/2011 Giving the US-backed MILF its substate With the Moro Islamic Liberation Front panelist talking, certain points during that “secret” meeting in Japan between Noynoy and MILF chieftain appear to bear out suspicions that Noynoy did promise the MILF certain things, including a substate for the BangsaMoro government, and a lot more besides, since some Cabinet officials representing the very departments that are excluded in the substate version of the MILF were also present. The MILF was pretty upbeat after the secret talks with Noynoy, and its leaders were already talking as though the substate proposal they spoke about was a done deal, with merely a final accord making it official. Obviously too, with the Budget Secretary Butch Abad also in the picture, money — and a lot of it — not just a measly P5 million to keep the MILF happy — was part of the secret meeting topic. The talk apparently had already revolved around a substate, with a BangsaMoro authority granted a lot of state power and with the government of the Philippines having the authority over national defense, foreign relations, currency and postal services and would still be exercised by the central government..... MORE The power of money — and control FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/31/2011 The power of money — and control Noynoy and his budget boy show clear signs of making the Supreme Court (SC) toe the Malacañang line. It has become much too clear that Noynoy wants to control the high court, to the point of having slashed the SC’s budget last year, and again this year, with Malacañang insisting that P1.25 billion in the judiciary’s budget should be under the executive department’s control, using the mantra of “judicial transparency.” The problem is that under the Constitution, the judiiciary is protected by its fiscal autonomy, besides which, Noynoy and his administration can hardly claim, in all honesty, that they are transparent, especially about the funds. To this day, Noynoy has not accounted for the expenses made on his 2011 P400-million intelligence funds, as well as his expenses in the matter of the funds in his presidential social fund (PSF). No project has been announced thus far that he had assisted though his PSF. Today, despite the utter lack of Palace transparency, Noynoy even has added another P200 million to his inteligence fund, for a 2012 total of P600 million in intelligence fund alone, even if his office is strictly not into intelligence gathering, which is the reason he cut off intel funds in other departments..... MORE Tough times ahead for Japan’s Noda, say analysts ANALYSIS 08/31/2011 Tough times ahead for Japan’s Noda, say analysts TOKYO — New Premier Yoshihiko Noda faces a struggle to stop Japan’s revolving door of political leadership, analysts warn, jeopardizing his chances of tackling the world’s biggest debt burden. The hawkish finance minister replaced Naoto Kan as prime minister Tuesday to become the nation’s sixth new leader in five years after the ruling Democratic Party of Japan chose him as its new president over rival Banri Kaieda. Noda, who likens himself to a marine bottom-feeder rather than a glittering goldfish, has stressed his credentials as a responsible, moderate and middle-of-the road leader at a time of national crisis. But there is skepticism that will be enough, with his immediate priority the passing of a third budget to pay for post-March 11 quake reconstruction as he looks to revive an economy that has contracted for three straight quarters..... MORE Valueless C.R.O.S.S.R.O.A.D.S Jonathan De la Cruz 08/31/2011 Valueless Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, she of the acerbic tongue and matchless wit, is at her fightingest mode all over again. She has scored her colleagues’ propensity to undertake “inquiries-in-aid-of-legislation” instead of buckling to actual legislative work and policy making. She admitted that most of the time the probes do not really serve their purpose and, worse, turn senators into two bit investigators and prosecutors. Herself a darling of media, she decried the fact that the medium has actually turned legislators into actors doing everything possible to get into the news and bring attention to themselves rather than the topic at hand. She called the hearings which are usually covered live on TV and radio as variously “inquiries-in-aid-of-election” or “inquiries-in-aid-of-public adulation.” Said Santiago: “These inquiries-in-aid-of-legislation or public hearings or public investigation of the Senate are actually useless. It is valueless because the most that we can do is refer the case to the Ombudsman or the Department of Justice for them to study if there is probable cause to conduct preliminary investigation. If we have the power of preliminary investigation that would justify the time spent in these proceedings, we become investigators and fiscals. But that is not the case..... MORE Cambodia’s activist monk fights on despite threats focus 08/31/2011 Cambodia’s activist monk fights on despite threats PHNOM PENH — His saffron robe a rare beacon among protesters, Cambodia’s most outspoken monk has been banned from temples and risked arrest for challenging rights abuses — but he vows not to be silenced. “The more they threaten me, the more I stand up for our rights,” said the Venerable Loun Sovath, also known as the “multimedia monk” for filming forced evictions and distributing the footage. In a country where Buddhist monks are hugely respected but rarely seen standing shoulder to shoulder with those fighting abuses, his peaceful activism has attracted praise from rights groups — and condemnation from authorities. “Seeing a monk among the crowd lifts the spirits of people defending their human rights,” the bespectacled holy man told AFP during a recent interview in the capital, where he joined a rally against deforestation..... MORE US opposes VFA review —Wikileaks By Michaela P. del Callar 08/31/2011 US opposes VFA review —Wikileaks The United States had opposed the review of the controversial Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with the Philippines even as the Philippine government pointed out “defects” in the defense accord, a US Embassy cable released by online whistleblower WikiLeaks said. Former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Affairs Richard Lawless, who visited in Manila in 2007, told Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Rafael Seguis in a meeting that there is no need to review the agreement since it is working well for both countries. Manila is spe-cifically against a vague provision granting the US primary custody of American military personnel ac-cused of breaking Philippine laws. Surrendering erring American troops to Philippine authorities would mean they would have to be incarcerated in a local jail, touted as one of the worst prison cells in the world, and join other Filipino inmates, a move the US government strongly objects. This situation was put to a test when Lance Cpl. Daniel Smith was accused of raping a Filipina off military hours..... MORE Bad performance did Alvarez in — Palace By Virgilio J. Bugaoisan 08/31/2011 NOY REMAINS TIGHT LIPPED ON REPLACEMENT Bad performance did Alvarez in — Palace By Virgilio J. Bugaoisan 08/31/2011 Bad performance did in former Customs Commissioner Angelito Alvarez, and not his claim of bad publicity which Alvarez insinuated to have been orchestrated by smuggling syndicates, the Palace stated yesterday. Bad publicity was not the reason for President Aquino’s decision to sack Alvarez, deputy presidential spokesman Abigail Valte said yesterday. But even as Aquino declared that he had already given the walking papers to Alvarez, Valte claimed Aquino’s aides are being kept in the dark on his replacement. She is also uncertain when the actual turnover would take place..... MORE RP backs new Libyan government By Michaela P. del Callar 08/31/2011 RP backs new Libyan government The Philippines yesterday finally withdrew its support for Libyan strongman Moammer Kadhafi and announced that it is officially recognizing the opposition-backed National Transitional Council (NTC) as the legitimate government in Libya. As members of the Kadhafi family departed Libya and sought refuge in neighboring Algeria, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) referred to the NTC as the “legitimate representative of the Libyan people” and urged it to “lead the country toward peace and security.” “The Philippines recognizes the National Transitional Council as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people during this period of transition in the country,” a DFA statement said. Manila’s support for the NTC indicates the country’s new policy toward Libya after it had hesitated in the past to immediately shift sides as Kadhafi’s grip on power waned to safeguard hundreds of Filipino workers from possible retaliatory attacks..... MORE Solon urges GSIS to restore pension of Napocor retirees 08/31/2011 Solon urges GSIS to restore pension of Napocor retirees Newly installed Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III yesterday asked the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) to restore the monthly pensions of nearly 9,000 National Power Corp. (Napocor) retirees that the state-run pension agency stopped last April, allegedly in compliance with a Supreme Court ruling. Pimentel urged GSIS chairman Daniel Lacson and GSIS president and general manager Robert Vergara to liberally interpret the laws in favor of its members or beneficiaries. “If, under our Labor Laws, a fair day’s pays for a pair day’s work is a long accepted doctrine, the same should equally apply to retirees who look at their retirement benefits as a financial refuge in their old age,” Pimentel said. Pimentel said Napocor retirees have made invaluable contribution to the development of the Philippine electric power industry and deserve due recognition for services rendered..... MORE Lawmaker mulls people’s initiative vs oil deregulation law 08/31/2011 Lawmaker mulls people’s initiative vs oil deregulation law Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares yesterday called on consumers to launch a people’s initiative to repeal the Oil Deregulation Law considering that it has caused so much price increases in oil products and has not served its purpose of lowering its cost. This will be a parallel initiative to Congressional action on bills filed by Bayan Muna and the progressive block in Congress to repeal the Oil Deregulation Law. “It is about time the people take “the law into their own hands,” said Colmenares. “Actions within and outside Congress could help push the eventual repeal of the law that has allowed spiralling fuel prices in the country.” Colmenares said that “an “Initiative” is the power of the people to propose amendments to the Constitution or to propose and enact legislations through a petition of 10% of the registered voters.”.... MORE PRC scraps mass oath-taking of newly registered nurses 08/31/2011 PRC scraps mass oath-taking of newly registered nurses Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz yesterday said the Board of Nursing (BoN) of the Professional Regulation Commission has scrapped the usual mass oath-taking of newly registered nurses beginning with the successful examinees of the July 2011 Nursing Licensure Examination. Baldoz said the move is in response to the Aquino government’s call for prudent budget management. She said Commission ChairmanTeresita Manzala reported to her that the BoN has decided to do away with the mass oath-taking of successful examinees, citing the current socio-economic condition being experienced by Filipino families, especially the income class where majority of the nurses belong. “While the oath-taking is a requirement of law, the Board [of Nursing] decided to simplify it to save on costs and other expenses relevant to the holding of the traditional mass oath-taking. The oath-taking ceremony, however, will still be undertaken either individually or by groups upon their registration for nurse licenses with the PRC,” Manzala explained..... MORE Noy’s bag of surprises EDITORIAL 08/30/2011 Noy’s bag of surprises The nation hasn’t yet recovered from the surprise that Noynoy pulled in that secret meeting held with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chairman, Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, in Japan that many saw as a revival of the scuttled Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) which sought to create the unconstitutional Bangsamoro Juridical Entity (BJE), now Malacañang has sprung another whammy in the $50-billion joint exploration agreement that may be brought up in Noynoy’s visit to China starting Aug. 30. The agreement sounds like another rerun of another controversial past deal. The Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking Agreement with China during the Arroyo administration was assailed as being grossly tilted toward China’s since it allowed the exploration of areas which are not part of the disputed territories. The Senate then said that going through with the agreement would be an impeachable offense on the part of the President. The Palace has not released any details on the agreement, merely giving an assurance that the administration would assure that the agreement would be fair on the benefits to be derived from it..... MORE Impossible dream FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/30/2011 Impossible dream Strange are truly the ways of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) — despite the country being under a claimed honest and transparent Aquino administration. One would have thought that, having Noynoy appointees to head the Comelec, the electorate can now hope to have a clean poll body and clean polls. But it appears that no such thing is likely to happen — especially as the 2013 senatorial polls loom, with, no doubt, Noynoy wanting to ensure the victory of his senatorial bets — which means bets largely coming from the Liberal Party ranks. While a joint probe body headed by both the Department of Justice and the Comelec will be conducting hearings on the alleged 2004 and 2007 election fraud and the designated members named, the Comelec chairman apparently had a change of mind and pulled out its former law department director Ferdinand Rafanan as member of the joint Comelec-DoJ panel..... MORE Not a peep NO HOLDS BARRED Armida Siguion-Reyna 08/30/2011 Not a peep Outside of typhoon talk, last week’s usap-usapan centered mostly on three topics: Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio Arroyo once again covering up for Kuya Mike, Zambales Rep. Mitos Magsaysay’s heated exchange with Communications Secretary Ricky Carandang, and an Agusan-based priest’s alleged rape of a female minor. Recall that we never really hear anything from Iggy Arroyo. Not a peep, on issues big or small. He just really creeps out of the woodwork whenever there’s need to defend the bro’. And look here, for this time around, he’s not even well, there’s talk about a serious ailment that needed to be treated all the way in London. Yet he broke free from the treatment, albeit momentarily, to confer with lawyers, and thereafter issue statements clearing utol of anything and everything, along the lines of “Whatever it is, it ain’t Jose Miguel whodunit, I dunnit.” So, ‘ayan. The helicopters Sen. Ping Lacson’s witnesses say were actually owned by the former First Gentleman and used in his wife’s 2004 campaign and then sold to the Philippine National Police as brand new? Ex-FG knew nothing about that, because it was all Iggy’s doing. And then Iggy proceeds to tell an unlikely tale of choppers not really owned by them, but merely leased. So on and so forth, ad nauseum, with Iggy clearly expecting us to believe him..... MORE There is an alternative AN OUTSIDERS VIEW Ken Fuller 08/30/2011 There is an alternative This outsider has it on good authority that in the recent past, former president Joseph Estrada has developed an admiration for Claro M. Recto, who over the course of his career evolved from traditional politician to consistent nationalist. Had Recto’s nationalism begun to work its magic earlier, there would have been no question of Mr. Estrada attempting to remove the nationalist safeguards from the Constitution during his abbreviated presidency. It would seem, however, that son Jinggoy has yet to fall under the Recto spell, for he is calling for the “outdated charter” to be amended. Another senator supporting a review of the economic provisions is Antonio Trillanes IV. According to the Philippine Star report of Aug. 16, his main interest seems to lie in securing a reduction in domestic shipping rates (presumably by the introduction of foreign competition, although this is far from clear). He also argues that Congress should discuss and vote on the amendments one by one, in the same manner as normal legislation, thus obviating the need for a constitutional convention or constituent assembly, either of which might be railroaded into a sweeping revision of the Charter. It is surprising to see Trillanes’ name associated with revision or elimination of the economic provisions because he is held to be a staunch nationalist. Indeed, when I interviewed Sonny Melencio earlier this year for my current book project (the third and final volume of a history of the Philippine left; the first volume was published by UP Press in 2007 as Forcing the Pace, while the second, A Movement Divided, will be issued by the same publisher very shortly), he recalled how, when he had visited Trillanes in detention, the latter had expressed opposition to socialism on the grounds that it was “foreign.” So too, Melencio pointed out, is nationalism, meaning that some ideologies, although originated in specific geographical/historical circumstances, can have universal application. Armstrong relives historic moon landing FEATURE 08/30/2011 Armstrong relives historic moon landing SYDNEY — It’s more than 40 years since Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, but his memories of the historic flight remain as undimmed as his passion for further exploration of space. The Apollo 11 commander, now aged 81, relived the 1969 mission that enthralled the world as he watched Google’s new high-definition images of the moon in Australia last week. The pictures, available on YouTube since May but which Armstrong said he had only just seen, show Apollo 11’s landing spot, including the fuel cell left behind which it also used as a launch pad. “So for the sceptics about whether we ever landed on the moon — this is a pretty good indication that somebody’s done it,” he quipped to a business audience that had paid hundreds of dollars to hear him speak..... MORE PPP: Once again — with feeling VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 08/30/2011 PPP: Once again — with feeling There was this recent disappearing act of no less than the President of the Republic: It was called a “visit.” It was done “abroad.” It was held “secret” in nature and objective. Thus it came to pass that there was a time when the country had a President who could be then rightfully considered “missing” by the People of the Philippines — until the rare phenomenon was eventually brought to their attention. The cat is out of the bag. The issue is big. The implication is profound. Briefly said, true or false, the distinct occasion brought to fore a distinct concern about the distinct matter of a “substate” in Mindanao — or something the like. The reactions were serious and immediate. Those indirectly concerned registered their reservations. Those directly concerned came up with their own convictions. Thus came to pass the huge and shrieking headline of a well-known national daily echoing the choice occasioned by the said “visit.” In other words, some kind of an alternative was given to the Malacañang occupant: “Popularity or Peace.” Translation: Disregard the establishment of the “substate” and remain “popular.” See to it the “substate” becomes a reality and “peace” would be the fruit thereof..... MORE Kato rattles saber as MILF queries gov’t offer for peace By Mario J. Mallari 08/30/2011 Kato rattles saber as MILF queries gov’t offer for peace A supposed renegade member of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Ameril Umbra Kato vowed yesterday to destroy peace efforts between the government and the secessionist group as the main MILF negotiators questioned the government’s offered formula of a “Bangsamoro Commission” in its proposed draft peace agreement, claiming such does not provide real autonomy to the Moro people. Surrounded by a small band of ragtag but ruthless followers, hardline Muslim rebel commander Kato vowed to destroy the latest peace efforts. Decades of fighting have neither wearied nor diluted the resolve of the Saudi Arabian-educated guerrilla, and he warns he remains willing to kill and die in his quest to achieve an independent Muslim homeland in the resource-rich Mindanao. Jun Mantawil, head of the MILF peace panel secretariat, meanwhile, said the government of the Philippines’ (GPH) proposed draft agreement was not meant to allow Bangsamoro people self-determination being pursued by the MILF..... MORE Alvarez already sacked, says Noy By Virgilio J. Bugaoisan 08/30/2011 EX-CUSTOMS CHIEF BLAMES SMUGGLERS BEHIND BID TO OUST HIM Alvarez already sacked, says Noy Earlier denials of an impending top-level revamp at the Bureau of Customs (BoC), notwithstanding, President Aquino yesterday announced that he had sacked Customs Commissioner Angelito Alvarez who came under fire following the disclosure that 2,000 container vans vanished into thin air right under the nose of the Customs chief. In pre-recorded interview over Radio Mindanao Network, Aquino disclosed that he had fired Alvarez and had found a replacement for him without giving a name, bolstering lingering speculations the President’s action has long been a done deal although he tried very hard to deny it. Aquino’s announcement came a day before his scheduled five-day state visit to the People’s Republic of China. Alvarez, meanwhile, said he will start packing his bag after Aquino confirmed his dimissal..... MORE Saudi Arabia extends ‘Royal Amnesty’ to overstaying Filipinos 08/30/2011 Saudi Arabia extends ‘Royal Amnesty’ to overstaying Filipinos Filipinos who are overstaying after performing “Umrah,” a form of pilgrimage, are given until Sept. 14 to leave Saudi Arabia, the largest Islamic state in the Middle East and where the two Holy Mosques are located, without being penalized, according to a Filipino migrants right group. Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator John Leonard Monterona said last April 27 the Saudi Ministry of Interior announced that a Royal amnesty was granted to expatriates who have violated residency rules and overstayed as reflected on their ‘umrah’ visas on Sept. 22, 2010 for a period of six months or up to March 23, 2011. This has been extended up to Sept. 14, 2011. “Filipinos who were overstaying after performing ‘Umrah’ have barely 15 days to avail themselves of the Royal pardon. They could leave Saudi Arabia without any corresponding penalty, monetary and weeks of detention at the deportation center till Sept. 14,” Monterona added. Monterona said overstaying Filipinos can directly proceed to any Saudi international airports and will only be required by Saudi immigration authorities to present his or her passport along with the expired ‘umrah’ visa and airplane ticket..... MORE Bill seeking to video-tape all gov’t transactions filed By Angie M. Rosales 08/30/2011 Bill seeking to video-tape all gov’t transactions filed A proposition has been laid down in the Senate where government procurement transactions are being required to be video-taped, in the hope of preventing and discouraging corruption. Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV proposed to make mandatory the video recording of all the meetings and proceedings starting from the level of the bids and awards committee (BAC) to ensure transparency and honesty in the execution of government policies. Five years since the enactment of the Government Procurement Reform Act or Republic Act 9184 is still plagued with collusion, abuse of discretionary criteria, malfeasance, misfeasance, and other forms of corruption, the senator noted. “It is high time that we use video recording in all the procurement transactions of the government to prevent corruption issues like the anomalous purchase of helicopters by the PNP (Philippine National Police) officials,” Trillanes said..... MORE Philpost stops free ‘snail mail’ service to judicial system By Benjamin B. Pulta 08/30/2011 Philpost stops free ‘snail mail’ service to judicial system In a sign of the times, postal officials yesterday said its cash- strapped operations could no longer provide free “snail mail” service to the country’s judicial system and asked the Supreme Court (SC) to formally review the “franking privilege” it enjoys. Despite recent rules allowing electronic evidence and other advances in paperless documentation, the bulk of pleadings before the courts are still paper-based copies sometimes requiring up to 11 copies of a single pleading. The Philippine Postal Corp. (Philpost) is now asking the high court to share in the cost of transporting the franked mail by air..... MORE Multinational firms behind push for RH bill — solon 08/30/2011 Multinational firms behind push for RH bill — solon Multinational companies manufacturing condoms and other contraceptives are behind the push for the passage of the Reproductive Health (RH) bill, a lawmaker from Manila said yesterday. According to Manila Rep. Amado Bagatsing, the multinational companies, mostly American pharmaceutical firms, are expected to earn some P200 million every day from the sale of contraceptives in the country. “Hindi naman ang RH ang isyu dito eh. Gusto lang kumita ang mga Kano kaya sila ang nasa likod niyan,” Bagatsing said. Bagatsing, a member of a congressional bloc opposing the bill, said the Philippine government is being dictated upon by the United States through the Millennium Development Goals. He added the Philippines has nothing to gain from the bill, except to buy and give out condoms and other contraceptives..... MORE Evil ‘Transformers’ DIE HARD III Herman Tiu Laurel 08/29/2011 Evil ‘Transformers’ No, it’s not the sci-fi action flick we are writing about. It’s about the real “Transformers” in our world — those giant, steel-hearted, mechanical monsters roaming the boardrooms of power companies that “transform” public utilities into humongous profit machines. It’s about power companies that transform the public’s need for electricity into an unimaginable nightmare for millions of Filipino consumers. Once the Lopez Group, the Philippine Electric Corp. (Philec) and the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) are both seen in this light. One supplies actual power transformers and related equipment to the other at what many consider as massive transfer prices of up to 500 percent or more. Our source, who will only testify in public once Congress musters the courage to conduct an honest-to-goodness investigation, claims to have the goods on this. For a time, as Meralco transitioned from the old guard to the new, sanguine hopes about the eventual dissolution of the tight embrace between the two said companies were raised. It was even claimed that power prices will be brought down since that kind of a set-up will end with the change in management. It has been pointed out by industry watchers that these so-called “sweetheart deals” form a major component of Meralco’s capital base submission to the state regulatory body, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), upon which the past 12-percent Return-on-Rate Base (RoRB) and the current 15.8-percent Performance Based Regulation (PBR) rate setting schemes are computed. If the supplies and equipment — from transformers, electric poles, to project costs of installations such as substations or plants — are overpriced by exponential percentages, then so are our electricity rates. The source of this news has, in fact, gone directly to the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of Philec which price power transformers for each mega volt-ampere (MVA), similar to horsepower in engines. In the Taiwan OEM plant visited by our informant for the purpose of getting the real bottom price, for instance, a quote of P250,000/MVA was given — far less than the P600,000/MVA reported in the Philippines, even if the usual discounts of 30 and 15 percent given to buyers, including most Philippine electric cooperatives, were to be deducted. Further, if a high-end Japanese brand is preferred, which the Taiwanese plant also officially produces, then a simple expedient of tacking on the Japanese brand’s steel plate for it to be priced higher is resorted to. Is this what Meralco does? In claiming the need for a top-of-the-line variant, it uses the Japanese name plate to increase the quote as well as its capital base with the ERC — which the regulating agency unfortunately approves without as much as a whimper — to the tune of P1,600,000/MVA! When the Lopez Group sold control of Meralco, there was indeed that opportunity to cut the monopolistic relationship between the two inextricably linked power firms, with hopes that rates will go down in spite of the already escalating bent of the onerous PBR. But nothing has changed. Filings made for the power distributor’s capital expenditures continue to be based on vastly overpriced claims; hence, its 80 to 90 percent yearly profit increases. Fortunately, power consumers all over the country have begun to understand more comprehensively the massive swindle that is the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira), or the post-Edsa II power privatization law that has spawned many “monsters:” From the ERC that is believed to be captured by Meralco; to the state holding firm Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (Psalm) that is petitioning for consumers to shoulder the Universal Charge that will pay for $18 billion (still!) in National Power Corp. (Napocor) debts, which were promised to have been paid with privatization but never were; to the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) that wants to raise rates to pay for damages caused by typhoons “Ondoy,” “Basyang,” etc., leaving its multi-billion insurance untouched; to the Philippine Electricity Market Corp. (Pemc) that wants to raise rates for “administrative modernization” (a euphemism for raising officers’ salaries); to its adjunct, the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (Wesm), which averages rates based on the highest (instead of the lowest) fluctuations, there are certainly more Epira monsters to discover — and decipher. What puzzles is that Congress, which is into every sort of investigation imaginable, has not touched on the festering and oppressive electricity scams being perpetrated right before our very eyes. It seems the likes of Rep. Henedina Abad and Sen. Serge Osmeña, who head their respective chamber’s energy committees, are oblivious to appearing as stooges of these power giants. Given this, will anyone else take the cudgels for the suffering Philippine economy, our industries, and our people? Or is everyone just too scared of the Philippines’ very own, steel-hearted, steel-fisted “Transformers”? The answer need not be more than meets the eye. (My new e-mail: mentong2011@gmail.com.

Instead of condemnation, the US post in the country considered the warming up of relations in both trade and political spheres as a natural consequence of the expanding influence of China in the region and the thrust of the US government then against terrorism which was perceived as incompatible to the country’s goals. The communication did not hide the fact about perceptions that most of the Chinese contracts with the government are tainted with corruption, but the overriding interest of the US was obviously how the dealings with China would impact on the traditional role of the Philippines as its closest ally in the region. The encompassing message from the leaked cable was that China is using its new found economic strength to buy off influence in the region and that the botched National Broadband Network (NBN) project awarded to Chinese supplier ZTE was one of such efforts..... MORE Opaque government budget FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/29/2011 Opaque government budget The rationale behind the scrapping of intelligence funds in many government departments, so claimed Budget Secretary Butch Abad, was that these were not involved in any intelligence gathering, which does sound logical. But it then must be asked why Noynoy has increased his intelligence funds by P200 million, bringing a total budget outlay for 2012 to some P600 million in intelligence funds for him alone, since the Office of the President certainly is far from being engaged in intelligence gathering. At the same time, the intel budget for the Nica (National Intelligence Coordinating Agency), which is an intelligence agency and presumably into intel gathering, was slashed. So was the military intelligence budget when the Armed Forces of the Philippines, at least through the Intelligence Service of the AFP or Isafp, is into intelligence gathering. What then is the justification of slashing the AFP intel budget, while increasing the Philippine National Police and related agencies’ intelligence budget? Even more glaring is the fact that while Noynoy had his intel budget increased by P200 million, it was reported that the Office of the Vice President’s intel budget was completely scrapped. Why then, if the Office of the President needs an additional P200 million for Noynoy’s intelligence funds, is the Budget secretary scrapping the intel funds of the Office of the Vice President?.... MORE DOTC Sec Mar Roxas backs MRT fare hikes, increasing penalties, PPPs Mar Roxas’ proposed budget slashed by 38-percent the government subsidy on MRT for 2012—from P6.9 billion ($162.7 million) to P4.29-billion ($101.15 million), despite reports of annual increases in passenger load. MANILA – Transportation secretary Mar Roxas is earning the ire of Filipino workers and people, said the progressive labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) in a statement, as Roxas defended the privatization of the MRT and LRT and, according to KMU, also justified the hiring of strike-breakers in PAL (Philippine Air Lines). Privatizing the railways and subsidizing the profits of private contractors, like what is happening now, has been blamed by various peoples’ organizations as the reason behind the looming fare hikes in MRT and LRT. “We don’t think this is the best way to prepare for the next elections,” warned Elmer “Bong” Labog, chairman of progressive labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), to Mar Roxas who is perceived as gearing up for the next presidential elections. Begrudging subsidies for mass transport In the budget deliberations in Congress, Roxas said that if the budget would be raised to increase the government’s subsidy per train passenger, then they (the DOTC) would not run out of funds for subsidies and so they would not have to consider “burden-sharing,” or increasing the MRT and LRT fares. Roxas and other DOTC officials at the budget hearing in Congress.(Photo by Marya Salamat / bulatlat.com) Roxas’ proposed budget slashed by 38-percent the government subsidy on MRT for 2012—from P6.9 billion ($162.7 million) to P4.29-billion ($101.15 million), despite reports of annual increases in passenger load. Asked by Anakpawis Partylist Rep. Rafael Mariano if the cut meant there would be fare hikes, Roxas replied that they will not be sourcing all the resulting budget shortfall on fare hikes alone. Roxas asked the Congress to “realign” the country’s tax-based spending because, he said, reminding the lawmakers that it was they who had pointed it out, “only the Metro Manila train riders have been enjoying a train ride that’s P55-subsidized per rider, when the rest of the country who are not in Metro Manila and not riding these trains have also been paying taxes.” Roxas said it is the taxpayers in other regions who are “losing” in the railways’ operations and not the government. Such imbalance in using public money was not invoked, however, for the rest of the DOTC’s proposed P26.5-billion ($625million) projects in 2012 to build or upgrade airports, ports and lighthouses. Many of which would facilitate the operations of foreign investments in its covered districts, said some lawmakers who asked Roxas to fast-track or improve the said projects. Roxas emphasized in the budget deliberation and in media interviews the need for “burden-sharing” between the government and the commuters in financing the operations of MRT and LRT....

C.R.O.S.S.R.O.A.D.S Jonathan De la Cruz 08/29/2011 Can America be trusted? The question being asked as P-Noy prepares for his five-day state visit to China tomorrow is not so much the possible outcome of this trip. It is clear that despite the heated exchanges over the Spratlys including the misplaced and insensitive issuances spewed out by administration officials on the Luneta hostage tragedy, the Chinese will ever be the gracious hosts they have always been known to be. I am sure they will do all they can to give P-Noy and his huge entourage (is it true some 200 businessmen will accompany him on this trip?) all the courtesies and perks befitting a head of state. Thanks to their solid understanding of historical ties, the Chinese will shower P-Noy with loads of bacon in terms of investments, trade, aid and tourism packages as well as directed people-to-people exchanges. But the test, the real question which will definitely hang over this visit, is whether P-Noy can summon the courage and the stamina to acknowledge that our country’s future will require balancing his decidedly pro-American tendencies with that of enhancing proper and responsible fraternal relations with China — our big neighbor and the world’s other emerging power. Which is precisely why in a previous column we noted that P-Noy and his advisers may be misreading the wave of the future by unduly hyping the Spratlys issue which is widely seen as a US induced “problem” while down playing if not totally ignoring the more immediate and, yes, solvable issues on hand such as those related to the Luneta fiasco. That is a No-No by any measure..... MORE De Castro, ex-subordinates not yet off the hook — solon By Angie M. Rosales 08/29/2011 FOR APPROVING GLOBE ASIATIQUE LOANS De Castro, ex-subordinates not yet off the hook — solon Former Vice President Noli de Castro and members of the board of Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), also known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, during his term are not yet off the hook regarding a P12-billion housing loan scam and could also be charged over the multibillion-peso anomaly as they were the ones who approved the loans that defrauded the government. Sen. Sergio Osmena III said the possibility of the former Vice President and Pag-IBIG officials being indicted along with Globe Asiatique Realty and Holdings Corp. executives is not remote considering the role they played in approving the release of the loans made by alleged fictitious borrowers. Last Wednesday, the Department of Justice (DoJ) recommended the filing of syndicated estafa charges against officials of Globe Asiatique led by Delfin Lee, its president and chief operating officer, and four others in connection with loans granted to it by HDMF through “special buyers” and “ghost borrowers.”.... MORE ‘Mina’ death toll rises to 8; over 100K people affected 08/29/2011 ‘Mina’ death toll rises to 8; over 100K people affected Super typhoon “Mina” killed at least eight persons and left flattened bridges and blocked roads in its wake as it moved away from the Philippines and churned toward Taiwan, officials yesterday said. The toll of dead and missing is likely to rise as officials assess the full impact of the storm, the strongest to hit the country this year, Emilia Tadeo of the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) damage report section said. “After the rains have subsided, that is only when we find the additional casualties and damage, when the local responders submit them to us,” Tadeo told Agence France Presse. Five were killed by landslides, including two children, buried by an avalanche of rubbish at a tip in the northern mountain city of Baguio, the OCD said..... MORE MILF to push Bangsamoro bid despite deadlock By Mario J. Mallari 08/29/2011 MILF to push Bangsamoro bid despite deadlock Despite the “deadlock” in the peace negotiation with the government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP), the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) would still push with its proposed establishment of Bangsamoro substate to address the decades-long Mindanao conflict. MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Iqbal said that the government’s counter proposal was way behind the MILF expectations, citing previous agreements by the peace panels, including the “reframing” of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) which was junked as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2008. The MILF negotiator stressed that he does not know if the government could reconsider its proposal “but the MILF would push through with our proposal.” Iqbal, however, admitted being “frustrated” by the GRP’s counter proposal which meant that the long years of negotiations went back to scratch..... MORE House panel approves P1.816-T budget for 2012 By Gerry Baldo 08/29/2011 House panel approves P1.816-T budget for 2012 The House committee on appropriations has approved the P1.816-trillion proposed national budget next year and is expected to deliberate on the measure in plenary on Sept. 6. According to Cavite Rep. Joseph Emilio Aguinaldo Abaya, chairman of the panel, the House is right on track in the budget deliberations even the 2012 budget would be ready for signing by the President before the year ends. “We passed the committee report last Friday. We will sponsor the general appropriations bill in the plenary on Sept. 6,” Abaya said yesterday. Abaya added the proposed budget, which was approved by his committee, was no different from what Malacañang had proposed and that it included the controversial P39.4 billion allotment for the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)’s conditional cash transfer..... MORE DepEd announces NCAE moved to Sept. 28 By Jason Faustino 08/29/2011 DepEd announces NCAE moved to Sept. 28 The Department of Education (DepEd) announced over the weekend it had moved the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) from August 31 to September 28. Changes will also be made as Education Secretary Armin Luistro said the NCAE will now be administered for third-year high school students both in public and private secondary schools. “We deem it better to administer the NCAE to third year high school students to give them sufficient time for comprehensive career guidance before they enter the tertiary level,” Luistro said. Also expected to take the NCAE are fourth year high school students applying for scholarship programs of the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda).Under DepEd Order No. 28, fourth-year students who will take the NCAE for Ched and Tesda scholarship should belong to the top 10 percent of each secondary high school regardless of school size..... MORE Solons want blood donors strictly monitored By Gerry Baldo 08/29/2011 Solons want blood donors strictly monitored Members of the House of Representatives yesterday urged the Department of Health (DoH) to strictly monitor its blood donation program in the light of reports that some donations may have been tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus-Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV-AIDS). Citizens Battle Against Corruption party-list Rep. Sherwin Tugna stressed the DoH must strictly monitor blood donation in the country so as not to jeopardize the lives of so many people and stop the spread of the virus. “We have to closely look at blood donation scheme in the country because the possibility of serious HIV spread is always there, especially if the system is left unchecked,” Tugna said. Tugna also stressed the need for the other concerned government and private agencies to intensify the information drive on the fight against the spread of HIV-AIDS..... MORE Grand Old Lady of Katipunan’s remains to be transferred to her birth place By Arlie O. Calalo 08/29/2011 Grand Old Lady of Katipunan’s remains to be transferred to her birth place Exhumation of the remains of the Grand Old Lady of the Katipunan, Melchora Aquino, from Himlayang Pilipino for transfer to the Tandang Sora Shrine now has a good chance of gaining congressional approval after the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) backed Quezon City’s claims to have the remains transferred to the heroine’s birth place on Banlat Road in Tandang Sora. The non-inclusion of Himlayang Pilipino in the list of NHCP’s national historical shrines and the failure of the memorial park’s administration to provide the city government with valid documents supporting claims that Tandang Sora should remain buried there, have bolstered QC’s interest to pursue the transfer of the heroine’s remains which has long been requested by her family. Tandang Sora’s remains were transferred to Himlayang Pilipino in 1970. “QC is not giving up its claims to exhume Tandang Sora’s remains. Nothing will be more timely and fitting than to have her rightfully buried in her original birthplace during the commemoration of her bicentennial year on Jan. 6, 2012,” said Mayor Herbert Bautista during a meeting with members of the QC Task Force Tandang Sora..... MORE A taste of Philippine justice EDITORIAL 08/28/2011 A taste of Philippine justice Libel cases are usual fares for newspapers for solely doing its bare function of writing stories as they are. The daily grind is to gather stories up to deadline hour and then write these faithfully the way an event happened or that of the story related to the reporter. The Tribune is a magnet for libel cases since it never wavered on printing stories as they are, no embellishment, no fear, no favor. One of the more influential names in the country recently became the subject of a story printed in The Tribune merely quoting the content of government documents recommending his arrest and the complaint of the individual that sought a legal remedy on him that law enforcers were not acting to implement an order for his detention. The result was one libel case filed in multiple courts that was clearly intended to harass the newspaper’s editors. Of the eight or so different court venues for the libel case about five were dismissed owing to grounds having to do with no-jurisdiction as well as multiplicity of suits, which would be no different from multiple forum shopping..... MORE A slap on their faces FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/28/2011 A slap on their faces A kind of a message seems to have been sent by the Court of Appeals (CA) to the Senate, as well as to the House of Representatives when it granted the habeas corpus plea of petitioner, Rollie del Rosario, husband of then detained former LTA Inc. bookkeeper, Rowena del Rosario, a day after the Senate freed her from detention. The CA could have easily dropped the habeas plea, since the detention issue was already moot, but the court didn’t. Instead, the court granted the habeas plea, which gives the impression that this grant was a message for any future abusive action on the Senate’s power to immediately order the arrest and detention of any invited guest as resource person, or “witness” merely because that resource person fails to give the answers senators want to hear, which answer senators wanted would prove their “case” against whoever they accuse of whatever crime.....

The critically injured male is one of the latest victims in South Africa’s rhino bloodbath, which is surging on privately owned reserves as criminal syndicates target easier prey for the Asian black market. “I’m at war,” exhausted owner Searl Derman told AFP before heading out again with a veterinarian to try to treat the highly stressed animal. It’s an expensive battle: Derman has racked up bills for tracking helicopters, vets and 24-hour anti-poaching measures, but is competing with hunters who are chasing horns that fetch half-a-million dollars a kilo..... MORE Another big-time BoC scam; billions lost N.O . N.O.N.S.E.N.S.E Jacinto 08/28/2011 Another big-time BoC scam; billions lost N.O . N.O.N.S.E.N.S.E More than 2,000 containers disappeared on its way to the Port of Batangas, with government losing billions in forgone revenues, we had written earlier. But there is again talk that another 1,470 containers have again been diverted from MICP to fake warehouses with government losing several more billions. How can this happen right under the very noses of the Commissioner of Customs and his officials? How could they release these 1,470 container vans filled with resins with an estimated value per container of P3 million without paying a single centavo as tax and duty to the government? It is mind boggling how Customs officials can conspire to perpetrate this very big scam. The scam allgedly occurred when 1,470 container vans loaded with resins were transferred to the Port of Manila from MICP but were diverted by the consignee in connivance with Customs officials to fake and fictitious bonded warehouses instead of arriving at the port of destination which is the Port of Manila. The 1,470 containers loaded with valuable and highly dutiable goods were allegedly all consigned to only one company, Xurich Corp., which must be filthy rich to import an estimated P5 billion worth of resins. Can you believe that this Xurich Corp. is allegedly a fake one, and yet the BoC headed by Angelito Alvarez was able to accredit the said corporation as an Industry-Specific Bonded Warehouse (ICBW) despite the absence of a mayor’s and business permit being submitted to the BoC. Talk is that the address presented to the BoC which is Unit 206 Joncor Bldg. at 1362 A. Mabini St. Ermita, Manila, turned out to be fictitious as the existing occupant of the said address is a travel agency and not a bonded warehouse, which was what Xurich claimed. It’s non-existence at Joncor building was certified by the building administrator stating that no Xurich Corp. ever occupied any room in the building in the last 15 years. Who could be behind this Xurich as its capitalist?.... MORE ‘WOW Philippines’ JUST remembering VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 08/28/2011 ‘WOW Philippines’ JUST remembering So brief but many intriguing possibilities it said. So plain but pleasant thoughts it evoked. So plain but big wonders it caused. This was the combined precious and loaded message that “Wow Philippines!” very well delivered and so long remembered. Foreign tourist came. Foreign income increased. And everybody was happy: The tourists themselves. The Tourist Agencies and Organizations. The Tourist Industry in general. The Tourist guides and many others, included. A new administration came. A new tourism leadership emerged. A new tourism come-on was invented. The former proverb “Wow Philippines!” was nonchalantly shelved. A supposedly new and better tourism slogan was invented: “Pilipinas Kay Ganda” — or something the like. Certain perplexing questions came to fore: Was the invention in effect inspired by foreign consultants? Did the invention simply copy some tourism figures from this or that country? Is it true that so much expenses were incurred from the making to the launching of the invention?.... MORE Pleasure of Noy, displeasure of the people TABLETS OF STONE Larry Faraon, OP 08/28/2011 Pleasure of Noy, displeasure of the people The most recent victim of the rumored internal great divide in Malacañang is Land Transportation Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) official Nelson Laluces. Rumor mills are rife over a Laluces fiasco involving the approval of the sale and transfer of franchise of BLTB Co. (a bus company) to Del Monte Bus Co. owned by Narciso Morales, who was said to be a distant relative of Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa. Recently, from his hot seat, Tourism Secretary Alberto Lim also bailed out and tendered his resignation over rumors of under-performance, since it has been a year now and it seems that he is still groping in the dark over his post. He started off with the infamous tourism campaign Pilipinas Kay Ganda. And in one presidential spur of the fast tongue P-Noy lashed out on him as one of those secretaries who regularly brings him “headaches.” A little far back, a bejeweled “Cory original,” former Transportation and Communications Secretary Jose Ping de Jesus resigned over the rumored telecommunications row between Globe and Smart and amid the DoTC’s deliberations on whether to raise the fares of the Light and Metro Rail Transit (LRT/MRT) systems. Retired General Ernesto Diokno of the Bureau of Corrections, also a certified Cory general came next over a rumored coddling of convicted murderer, former Batangas Gov. Antonio Leviste..... MORE Wikileaks: Power dynasties at work in Meralco battle 08/28/2011 ARROYOS, ABOITIZES VS LOPEZES Wikileaks: Power dynasties at work in Meralco battle The United States subscribed to the view that dynastic families that included the Arroyos, the Aboitizes and the Lopezes, waging a protracted war against each other was behind the bitter board room struggle between the Lopez family and the state pension fund Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) for control of dominant electricity distributor Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) toward the end of the previous administration of President Gloria Arroyo, leaked cables from the US Embassy showed. The cable which was among some 3,071 communications of the US diplomatic post in Manila released the other day by whistle-blower site Wikileaks said “the conflict, which some analysts see as a feud between the Arroyo and Lopez families, has eroded the appearance of stability that Philippine economic managers want to project, and may give foreign investors qualms about the Philippine power sector.” The US Embassy viewed the struggle for control of Meralco as highlighting the role of prominent families in business and government and creates uncertainty that could damage efforts to attract investors. “Lack of additional investment into the power sector will almost certainly leave Filipino consumers more vulnerable to power disruptions,” it noted.....

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the government was monitoring the situation in Libya as the regime of longtime leader Moammar Kadhafi collapses in the wake of a series of rebel victories. “What is important for us in the Philippines is the protection of our own Filipino workers. That is our primary consideration now (over) whether or not to recognize Libya’s (National Transitional Council, or NTC),” he told reporters. On Wednesday, the Libyan Embassy in the Philippines defected to the rebels’ side, raising the red, black and green flag of the anti-Kadhafi forces.....

Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said August 29 is a regular holiday by virtue of Proclamation No. 84 that President Aquino issued on Dec. 20, 2010, while August 30 is also regular holiday by virtue of Proclamation No. 234 in celebration of the Eid’l Fitr. “The purpose of the celebration of National Heroes Day is to accord fullest honors to the greatness, first of all, of our heroes who offered their sweat, blood, and lives so we may attain our freedoms, and second, to the resiliency of ordinary Filipinos who continue to love their country and endeavor to live honorable lives that honor our heroes and our countrymen,” the labor chief said. “On the other hand, we share our brothers and sisters, the Muslim Filipinos, in their celebration of Eid’l Fitr, or the Feast of Ramadhan, which falls on August 30,” Baldoz said..... MORE Climate change mitigation will benefit farmers, regenerate environment, says Angara By Charlie V. Manalo 08/28/2011 Climate change mitigation will benefit farmers, regenerate environment, says Angara The government, in cooperation with the global community, must come up with a long-term blueprint for programs that would mitigate the impact of climate change on man and the environment, Aurora Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara said yesterday. “Disasters like floods, droughts, forest fires and the increase in tropical cyclone have caused too much lives and material losses amounting to billions of pesos,” Angara said, adding in pursuing carbon finance in the forestry sector, the role of government cannot be underestimated. Referring to a document by the Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department (CPBRD), Angara strongly endorsed that the Philippines seriously consider mitigating climate change through the so-called “carbon sequestration” which refers to the capture and storage of carbon. Plants, especially trees or forests, are effective natural means (by photosynthesis) of converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using sunlight..... MORE ‘Koko’ prods Comelec lawyer to follow example of Zubiri By Angie M. Rosales ‘Koko’ prods Comelec lawyer to follow example of Zubiri “Do a Zubiri!” This was the call made by Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III yesterday to a lawyer at the Commission on Elections (Comelec) who was appointed as law department chief despite his being dragged in the P700-million ballot secrecy folder scam last year. Pimentel urged lawyer Allen Francis Abaya to turn down the appointment and spare the poll body from further condemnation even as he bared plans of filing a resolution in the upper chamber to probe his reported “re-appointment” after having been suspended for six months. Abaya, along with six other Comelec officials, was meted the suspension for approving the alleged highly overpriced ballot folders that were supposed to be used during the May 10, 2010 presidential elections. “As a victim of electoral fraud myself, I am extremely wary of election officials whose record has been tainted in any way by involvement in election irregularities,” the senator said..... MORE No lifting of HK black ban EDITORIAL 08/27/2011 No lifting of HK black ban Noynoy refuses to apologize to the Hong Kong hostage victims and relatives of the slain tourists, because he insists that the “Manila massacre” that occurred on Aug. 23, 2010 was the work of one deranged individual, and that the state, not being responsible for the slaughter, has no need to apologize. At the same time, however, Noynoy, through his spokesman, said he wants Hong Kong’s travel blacklist on the Philippines lifted, as he called this unfair, especially since his administration has already made improvements in securing tourists. Evidently, to this day, Noynoy and his boys fail to realize just what added damage they have inflicted on the country’s tourism through that botched hostage rescue operation, made even more damaging with his rejection of an apology to the victims and their relatives, as Noynoy refuses to accept responsibility and accountability for the Manila massacre. But he forgets that days or weeks after the botched rescue operations, with public and Hong Kong pressure mounting, Noynoy did say, and on record, that he was responsible for the botched rescue. He did say something to the effect that “at the end of the day,” he was responsible for it. And that is on record.... MORE Too good to be true FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 08/27/2011 Too good to be true Something just doesn’t smell right in what the Moro Islamic Liberation Front leaders are saying with regard to the rebel group’s placid rejection of the Noynoy government peace panel proposal, which cancelled out any move to create a substate that the MILF is demanding from Noynoy. The group even went to the extent of saying that there is hope as long as the peace talks continue, as well as claiming that the MILF’s rejection of the government’s expanded autonomy offer won’t result in the same way the MILF reacted violently to the rejection of the Supreme Court of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD), where the group of Ameril Umbra Kato launched several bloody attacks in areas populated by both Moros and Christians. A report said that despite the MILF’s rejection of the government proposal in the peace negotiation, the MILF leadership does not see a repeat of the 2008 massive atrocities in Central Mindanao which killed hundreds of civilians triggered by the SC’s declaration of the MoA-AD as unconstitutional. MILF spokesman Von Al Haq stressed the MILF leadership has not monitored any disgruntled group within the organization except for the group of renegade commander Ameril Umbra Kato, who was declared “bughaat” or rebel by the MILF Central Committee..... MORE India’s Anna Hazare: ‘Gandhi Lite?’ focus 08/27/2011 India’s Anna Hazare: ‘Gandhi Lite?’ NEW DELHI — He may dress, talk and fast like his hero Mahatma Gandhi, but critics say anti-graft activist Anna Hazare has only managed to co-opt the style, not the substance, of India’s independence icon. The figure of Gandhi looms large — and literally — over Hazare’s anti-corruption campaign, with a giant photograph of the apostle of non-violence providing the backdrop to the 74-year-old’s public hunger strike. Hazare’s speeches are peppered with Gandhian references to a “second freedom struggle” and his own diminutive, bespectacled appearance, and preference for simple white clothing, all serve to reinforce the link in the public mind. If the effort to embrace Gandhi’s legacy is sincere, it is also conscious and calculated, and observers say it has paid dividends by tapping into a national yearning for an inspirational leader..... MORE 17-year old girl accuses priest of rape -17-year old girl accuses priest of rape “I was so afraid and confused. He is a priest; I attended mass and received communion from him. After that first time I saw that he was not at all what he showed the world to be,” she said. She believed him to a be a man of God, but he turned out to be the one who would abuse and torment her. Seventeen-year old “Leah” is currently under the protection and custody of women’s group Gabriela as she and her family begin their fight for justice against what has been done to her by a priest in Tubay, Butuan City. The 17-year old girl is accusing 47-year old priest Fr. Raul Cabonce of repeatedly sexually abusing and raping her while she was under his care in his parochial residence in Butuan. Leah was one of Cabonce’s two wards. She began staying in the priest’s official residence after he made an offer to Leah and her family that he would help send her to school. A mutual acquaintance and Leah’s neighbor facilitated Leah’s transfer to the priest’s parish. In a detailed affidavit, Lead described in full and incriminating detail how the priest began to show interest in her and how the interest escalated to sexual abuse and rape. According to Leah. Cabonce first abused her on September 2010. Seventeen-year old “Leah” wants her abuser and rapistpunished so “He won’t do what he did to me to other children, other women.” (Photo by Ina Alleco Silverio / Bulatlat.com) “I was cooking dinner when he walked up close to me and began touching me. I was shocked and very alarmed when he began touching my breasts and waist,” she said. It was not the first time that Leah saw the priest conducting himself in such a way. “I had previously seen him touching Rachel (not her real name); and when seated he would pull Rachel to his lap and touch her just about everywhere. I felt very uncomfortable and ill whenever I saw him do that to her, but I was afraid to say anything.” When she brought it up with Rachel, the 20-year old told her that “it didn’t matter.” She told Leah that she and her family were very indebted to the priest for all the help he had given them since Rachel was a fifth grade student. Leah said she first believed that what Cabonce did to her did not really mean anything and so she resolved to put it out of her mind. Her hopes that it would not be repeated were immediately put to an end by February 27, 2011 when Cabonce made further advances. On that date, Cabonce made Leah give him a massage and ,in the process, forced her to have oral sex. The minor was almost paralyzed with fear especially after the priest allegedly threatened to kill her and her family if she said anything to anyone about what happened. The priest reportedly owns three guns — two of them short arms, and Leah has seen all of them. Leah also found out that the priest has a girlfriend, supposedly an older girl who attended college also in Butuan. She often saw the girl in the convent and she stayed with the priest in the parish house. “There was also a time when I was able to read the sent box of her cellphone and I saw also Fr. Cabonce’s messages to her. It was obvious from the messages that they have a relationship,”she said. Leah and Rachel by then had practically ceased to have contact with the outside world. Whenever Cabonce was in the parish, he ordered them to stay indoors and not communicate with anyone, not even through their cellphones.....

__label__cc	0.673012	0.326988	NDAA unconstitutional: Federal judge bans Obama from indefinitely detaining Americans Sorry, Mr. President. A US Federal judge has clarified a decision made last month with some news sure to upset the Obama administration: the White House cannot use the NDAA to indefinitely detain American citizens. Judge Katherine B.

__label__cc	0.696851	0.303149	Philip Morris Concord NC plants to close one year early.. April 23, 2009 - Philip Morris USA (PM) Concord NC cigarette plant (Cabarrus county cigarette manufacturing facility) will be permanently closed by the end of July 2009, more than a year ahead of schedule, the company has announced. Plans to close the giant cigarette plant and consolidate its operations to a facility in Richmond, Va., were first announced in 2007. The shutdown was scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010. About 500 workers have already relocated to Richmond. A group of 141 workers were laid off in February and 1,300 people are still employed. The accelerated closing was announced Wednesday in Philip Morris parent company Altria Group Inc.’s quarterly earnings statement. The company says closing the plant ahead of schedule will help “address manufacturing overcapacity resulting from ongoing declines in U.S. cigarette volume,” including the projected impact of a recent federal tax increase. The plan to close the 2.4 million-square-foot Concord plant is part of a larger cost-saving plan by Altria to consolidate its facilities. The decision leaves the 1.6 million-square-foot plant in Richmond as Philip Morris’ only U.S. cigarette factory. Philip Morris is Concord’s top taxpayer. In 2006, the company paid nearly $5 million in municipal taxes. Real estate consultant Jones Lang LaSalle has been selected to market the 2,100-acre property.

__label__wiki	0.514466	0.514466	A blog dedicated to the proposition that understanding the past better equips us to live in the present and plan for the future. I discuss national issues--and offer a historical context--focusing on eight classic old mill towns along Pennsylvania's lower Schuylkill River. I tackle the myths that surround urban history, and attempt to offer a better understanding, because those who continue to believe in myths will continue to make mistakes. "The truth will set you free. But first it will piss you off." Will Montgomery County’s Renovations Screw Over Norristown…Again? It’s a strange sight, that old building standing alone on the North side of the first block of East Main Street in Norristown, Pa.. #43, a relic of the past, stands just east of the county garage, with nothingness beyond it to DeKalb Street. If you are at all interested in the good old days of Norristown, check it out, because soon it will follow all the other buildings that used to grace this side of the core block of downtown Norristown. It will disappear. The buildings to the east succumbed to different causes, but #43 East Main Street will join all the other buildings between it and the Public Square as a victim of a single voracious neighbor, the Government of Montgomery County. The Government of Montgomery County is evidence that something can be within a municipality’s boundaries and also beyond its control, thus adding a further wrinkle to the possibilities discussed in my previous post. The County’s exercise of “eminent domain” to acquire #43 East demonstrated that quite clearly. The acquisition was an initial step in what will be a major reworking of the county’s physical plant. History says you should be concerned. Montgomery County’s creation of its present complex contributed substantially to the decline of downtown Norristown. Will history sort of repeat itself? Could this new program hurt Norristown at precisely the time people are beginning to see signs of a turnaround? Only time will tell, but something this substantial scheduled to take place in the core of the town you are trying to revive should be carefully considered. And you definitely don’t want history to even sort of repeat itself in downtown Norristown. When Montgomery County first constructed the buildings and parking garage that will be rehabbed, it delivered repeated body blows to what was then the county’s shopping mecca, downtown Main Street. The County was by no means Main Street’s only assailant, to be sure, but the decline of downtown Norristown was initiated and then sustained by the County’s actions. And this began BEFORE even the idea of a large shopping center at King of Prussia. If you want more than a super brief outline of what happened, I refer you to my book, What Killed Downtown? Norristown, Pennsylvania From Main Street to the Malls, but what follows outlines some fundamental points. Montgomery County hurt downtown Norristown in two ways. First, it tore the heart out of what was then a thriving downtown Main Street. The County removed 20 businesses, plus the offices of two unions and one fraternal organization, from Norristown’s commercial core. They never returned. Second, and perhaps even more damaging, it allowed the work to drag out over almost two decades, disrupting downtown commerce at exactly the wrong time in history. The County struck its first blow back in 1954, the peak year of Main Street’s post-World War II prosperity. Planning had begun earlier, but the course of events seems to indicate that either the County began the project unsure of what would result, or had to frequently change its goals during an era of ballooning government responsibility. Or perhaps both. In 1954 the County purchased the Montgomery Trust Building at #25 East Main and the Montgomery Trust Arcade Building (originally the Boyer Arcade, named after its builder) at #29. Despite noble proclamations about making a “commitment to Norristown” while saving the taxpayers’ money, the County’s subsequent actions did exactly the opposite, at least for Norristown. The County expelled all the tenants from the buildings it had purchased, and had various government agencies occupy the buildings for a while. But then the County let the buildings deteriorate until they sat boarded and empty for years, a considerable eyesore in a town by then struggling against blight. In 1961 the County announced that not only would it raze #25 and #29, it would also purchase the two buildings to the east, #35 and #37, and raze them too. This the County proceeded to do. What had been from Norristown’s beginning the very core of downtown, the site of numerous businesses, became the entrance to a parking garage. But that took quite a while; the project’s impact on Main Street stretched out over 17 years, from the County’s purchase of two buildings in 1954 to the completion of the parking garage in 1971. Much verbiage was expended as to how the new garage would solve the downtown parking problem, but by the time it opened downtown was a ghost town and the parking wasn’t needed. The recent newspaper article announcing the impending end of #43 East Main contained a statement that should be considered as ominous: “The work [of renovating the entire County complex] is expected to take a decade…” The financial figures that follow are substantial, but the extended time is what renders the County’s construction program problematic—at best—for a reviving Norristown. The next decade will be crucial for Norristown, and constant disruption, noise and traffic blockages in the core of what you are trying to revive is not going to help. But can anything actually be done to mitigate the effects on downtown of the proposed work? How much influence does Norristown have with the County these days? Any at all? But maybe it doesn't matter. Back when the County complex was built, the Borough still possessed economic clout, although that was waning. There was a Norristown Chamber of Commerce and a number of influential merchants of long standing in the region. All this did Norristown absolutely no good, as it turned out. Will things be better this time? My research about the last time never turned up anything that would even suggest evil intent on the County's part, but the results were devastating nonetheless. So, even assuming the best intentions on the part of the County, those working to revive Norristown should pay close attention to what's coming. History may--or it may not--sort of repeat itself, but knowing history--understanding what happened in similar circumstances before--can only help to swing your chances toward the latter option. That's definitely what you want. Michael E. Tolle Author of They've Been Down So Long... Getting Up's Still on Their Minds What Killed Downtown?

__label__cc	0.580352	0.419648	Siamang (Hylobates syndactylus) MORPHOLOGY: This species has relatively long forearms which assist it in suspensory behavior. This species has throat sac located beneath the chin to help enhance the calls. The siamang lacks a tail, caudal vertebrae. The average body mass for an adult male siamang is around 10.9 kilograms, and for the female it is around 10.6 kilograms (Fleagle, 1988). The pelage color for both sexes is black. The throat sac has a pinkish or gray color to it. The siamang is found in the countries of Indonesia and Malaysia. This species is found in semievergreen forests and tropical evergreen forests, and these are either of primary or secondary forest types. The siamang is a frugivorous species, but will also consume immature leaves and insects. The siamang prefers to consume fruits high in sugar such as the fig (Ficus). This species consumes more leaves than other gibbons. This is an arboreal and a diurnal species. This species sleeps and rests in the emergent trees (Leighton, 1987). LOCOMOTION: The siamang is a true brachiator which means it moves by suspensory behavior (Fleagle, 1988). The siamang has a brachiation type where it slowly moves through the forest (Fleagle, 1988). This species also climbs when moving slowly and feeding (Fleagle, 1988). This species is also able to move for short distances by bipedalism (Fleagle, 1988). SOCIAL BEHAVIOR: The siamang has a monogamous mating and social system. The basic group structure is the breeding pair and their offspring. Both males and females emigrate from their natal group around adolescence. This is a territorial species. Adolescent and subadult males participate in the defending of the territory against conspecific males with their fathers (Chivers, 1974). This species has codominance where both the male and the female are dominant (Gittins and Raemaekers, 1980). Males take an active part in caring for the young, often seen carrying the infants around which is different from other members of the genus Hylobates. VOCAL COMMUNICATION: duetting: These are vocalizations which occur between the breeding male and female, and is dominated by the female. This vocalization is important because it helps to maintain the pair bond between the breeding pair and also it helps to establish and maintain the territory. OLFACTORY COMMUNICATION: VISUAL COMMUNICATION: TACTILE COMMUNICATION: social grooming: This is when one individual grooms another and is used to reinforce the bonds between individuals. The siamang gives birth to a single offspring. Burton, F. 1995. The Multimedia Guide to the Non-human Primates. Prentice-Hall Canada Inc. Chivers, D.J. 1974. The Siamang in Malaya.

__label__cc	0.528522	0.471478	REVIEW: Josef Salvat @ The Hope and Ruin, 28/2/15 Singer-songwriter of THAT Rihanna cover plays his first sell-out show in Brighton. Since his cover of Rihanna’s Diamonds (from the early-September released EP In Your Prime) was featured in Sony TV’s ‘Ice Bubbles’ advert last autumn, Australian export and singer-songwriter Josef Salvat has kept a relatively low profile. However, fast-forward five months and here we find him, in our very own Brighton, bang in the middle of his first headline European tour (having previously supported Tom Odell and BANKS). The Verse was fortunate enough to be invited along to his first sold out gig – at the Hope & Ruin bar on West Street. It’s difficult to know what to expect from an artist we’ve heard so little from before now. Salvat’s only releases have been singles from the EP, which – besides airtime on Fearne Cotton’s Radio One show this week – haven’t garnered much in the means of mainstream publicity. Still, it seems he’s off to a good start with the intro to first track This Life, as he delivers an eloquent tale of facing failure to a beat not dissimilar to that of Massive Attack’s Teardrop. There’s a strong sense of continuity throughout the show, as the artist explores past relationships, heartbreak and – in sexy ballad Every Night – that challenge of ‘punching above your weight’. It’s a theme that has been covered all too many times before, and while this does nothing for his stage presence (which comes across a lot like pubescent awkwardness fuelled by self-deprecation and insecurity at the best of times), it really does seem to give his lyrics some depth and makes his songs frighteningly familiar to the audience. Unreleased tracks Secret and In The Audience are worth a mention here, serving as parts one and two of Getting Out of a Bad Relationship 101. There’s no doubt that the lyrics are pretty damn heavy in either song (and the moody vibes make for some great easy-listening material), but the latter appears to reflect long-awaited celebration, with heavier bass, louder drums and a faster tempo. Here at The Verse, we like a good beat. While Open Season is an easy contender for this year’s summer anthem (the chorus in particular bringing to mind dancing at a festival with a bottle of cider), it’s his single Hustler that steals the show, where Josef Salvat plays sans band with his piano for dark reminiscences of post-relationship rebounds. Overall, a versatile set with cleverly crafted lyrics. As he forgoes an encore to close with crowd-pleaser Diamonds, we are left to wonder when we’ll hear more from Josef Salvat. We hope soon.

__label__cc	0.602288	0.397712	The Unique Panerai Luminor Marina Automatic Replica Watch I guess that you may not forget the thing which is from another recent feature, the true roots of Panerai came to be on account of the Radiomir, however the typical Panerai Luminor is nothing but an extra part. The great effort from the brand arrived nearly 14 years after its sibling in 1950, getting its name from a patent filed by the brand a year earlier. Luminor was a successor to the Radium-based Radiomir luminous material, this time using tritium as its base. This modern Luminor first released several years ago, once again expanding the model range. It features a 42mm steel case, housing a matte-finished black dial with cream-colored indices that give the piece a slightly aged look. The key point is, the piece was fitted with one of replica Panerai’s in-house manufacture calibers, the P.9010. This fake Panerai has been making a concerted effort to convert its entire model line to in-house calibers over the years, most recently adding them to its Due model line in 2018—surprisingly without charging any extra premium over the past models which had been fitted with outsourced movements. Among all these things, what sets the P.9010 apart is its 3-day power reserve, delivered via a pair of mainspring barrels. To this day the huge majority of luxury replica watches competing in this price bracket offer a power reserve in the ballpark of 40-50 hours, and though the added running time is unlikely to be a dealbreaker for anyone, it’s absolutely a perfect benefit. Though the Luminor is now considered more of a daily-wear casual replica watch, at its roots its intended purpose was diving, and fitted with the correct strap it is still perfectly capable of spending some time under water. This fake model is rated for 10bar (about 100m), which is more than enough for spending time in the pool, surfing, snorkeling, and even most mild recreational diving for that matter. It is said that once fitted with its supple calfskin leather strap as seen here, the Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic is the best companion for everything from running weekend errands to a casual night out on the town. With the thickness of 13.2mm, it’s still a little too hefty to consider tucking under a dress shirt cuff, but it’s a broadly acceptable choice for any other type of attire. Amazing Bubble Back of Rolex Replica Watches Some of the vintage watches we rarely talk from Rolex’s long and illustrious history are their early self-winding fak e watches, affectionately nicknamed “Bubble Backs” by members of the collecting world. Although they were not particularly designed for some demanding sport or an inhospitable environment, the Rolex Bubble Back represents the basic, self-winding template that all modern Rolex watches would come to follow. Rolex’s Bubble Back replica watches get their nickname from their extremely rounded, protruding case-backs. Although greatly interesting from a design standpoint, the Bubble Back design was actually born out of necessity as an efficient means to house Rolex’s thicker, self-winding movements. It was during the 1930s that the Rolex first began fitting their watches with automatic movements, rather than the manually wound calibers that had been traditionally used in their watches. The addition of the oscillation weight significantly increased the overall thickness of the movement, and required extra clearance for the rotor to move freely inside the case. Rather than making the entire case of the watch larger, the fake Rolex decided to allow the case-back to protrude in a curved, bubble-shaped fashion. By today’s standards, the replica Rolex Bubble Back watches are rather antiquated in design. Case diameters are relatively small and typically hover around 30 mm to 32 mm for the classic men’s models. Besides, because of their domed acrylic crystals and convex, protruding case-backs, Bubble Back watches are disproportionally thick in an almost egg-like fashion. Although their large, dome-shaped case-backs have earned these watches a number of different nicknames all over the years, the “Bubble Back” name is probably the most well known and commonly used today. The small case diameter and relatively large overall thickness combine to make a somewhat awkward and strangely proportioned, egg-shaped watch; however, Bubble Backs represent an early and important time in Rolex’s history, when the company was first starting to refine their self-winding watch movements. Nowadays, all Rolex fake watches are fitted with automatic-winding calibers; however they can trace their root DNA back to the original Bubble Back watches that Rolex first introduced during the early 1930s. Almost every watch that the Rolex replica now makes has the word “Perpetual” printed on the surface of its dial, and it was these early Bubble Back replica watches that were the first to receive the Rolex’s inaugural, self-winding movements.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17113

Please order from Amazon.co.uk or RedDoor Publishing website if you are not in this region. Thanks. This novel is a work of fiction based on a real situation. A well-intentioned development programme, executed over many years, to provide clean drinking water to rural people in Bangladesh produced what has been described as the worst mass chemical poisoning in human history. The novel is set in 2003 but the slow poisoning by arsenic of millions of people in the affected areas continues to this day. A comprehensive, long term solution remains elusive. Bangladesh is not alone in having this problem. Naturally occurring arsenic is a common contaminant of groundwater across the world, particularly in deltaic regions, but Bangladesh remains by far the worst affected country. One of the most detailed accounts of this catastrophe can be found in Venomous Earth: How arsenic caused the world’s worst mass poisoning (Macmillan 2005) by Andrew Meharg, then Professor of Biogeochemistry at Aberdeen University and a world expert on arsenic contamination. In the writing of this novel, I have drawn on this and many other international and local sources on arsenic contamination. I have also drawn on the legal judgement in the House of Lords in 2006 relating to a court case taken out by a group of Bangladeshi citizens. The case alleged that a UK agency involved in the geological assessment of aquifers for Bangladesh’s tubewell digging programme was negligent for not testing for arsenic in the groundwater. These facts provided inspiration, but the story is entirely fictional. All characters, organisations and events are imaginary, including all named agencies and Government departments. The town and district of Shimulganj are also my inventions. The city of Dhaka is real, as are major landmarks such as the Liberation War Museum, but readers who know the city intimately may spot one or two small liberties with its geography. Beyond this, any resemblance to existing or former organisations and to individuals, alive or dead, is purely coincidental. This book features in: Literature and Fiction Novels Blame... Dilruba Z.

__label__cc	0.504628	0.495372	TravelPlus The Voice of Luxury Travel Luxury (First Class) Conrad Maldives welcomes NEMO! Taking delivery of its first three-seater submarine, Conrad Maldives becomes the only resort to offer its guests a daily opportunity to explore the vibrant underwater world, in a way that was not possible before. “Conrad Maldives Rangali Island has always been a great place for snorkelling and diving but guests who can’t swim have had to miss out on that experience,” says General Manager Carsten Schieck. “With the arrival of our new submarine, we make this incredible underwater experience open to everyone in a way that’s very easy and comfortable – and no need to get wet!” Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is located in South Ari Atoll, an area of the Maldives that is renowned for its many excellent dive sites. The submarine takes two passengers on a 30-minute exploration of the resort’s coral reef, which runs the length of the island and is home to soft corals, schools of brightly coloured fish such as blue-striped snappers, sting rays, reef sharks and turtles. It even offers the rare possibility of sighting a pod of dolphins or a passing whale shark. Built in Germany by Nemo Tauchtouristik, the Nemo N100 submarine can dive to 30 meters and seats three people: two passengers and a trained pilot. Looking like something from a futuristic space cartoon, the submarine is bright orange with white stripes, characteristic of a clown fish (“Nemo” in the Disney film) with three acrylic glass ‘pods’ sticking out of the top offering the submariners 360-degree views of the underwater world they’re passing through. The price for one dive is US$495 for two people, or US$280 for one person and submarine tours are naturally subject to weather conditions.

Obama has rightly pressed that our response must be limited – meaning not an all-out intervention with boots on the ground. Strikes, not troops, are appropriate. What we are after is punishment and exacting a price, not embroiling ourselves in the Syrian civil war directly (though we can and should debate what outcome we want to see and how we help influence it). But Assad must receive the punishment and pay the price, not Syria. We should not inflict damage that he can absorb politically and militarily nor damage that would inflame passions against the U.S. elsewhere. Limiting the targets to assets that prop up Assad or serve him, which may not include military ones, can help prevent spreading the conflict. Such limited means and selective – and effective – goals will bolster our chances to building international support at least tacitly, and separate Assad from the greater Syrian strife.

The real major debt holder of US debt is the american people (in retirement accounts – 401Ks etc.) including myself. I, in fact, am glad that the Chinese and Japanese also hold debt, because I believe it would be much easier for our leaders to steal our retirement accounts by defaulting on the debt if it only had to be taken from the US people. However, since to do that, they would also have to sink the Chinese and Japanese economies, and in doing so destroy the world economy, there is very little likelyhood that the US will default. They may not raise the debt limit, but with prioritization, they could pay the debt interest (which prevents a default) out of revenues.

It contains over 450,000 works of art, making it one of the most comprehensive collections in the Americas. The museum was founded in 1870 and its current location dates to 1909. In addition to its curatorial undertakings, the museum is affiliated with an art academy, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and a sister museum, the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts, in Nagoya, Japan. The current director of the museum is Malcolm Rogers. Boston Museum of Fine Arts building, Back Bay occupied from 1876 - 1909 The Museum was founded in 1870 and opened in 1876, with a large portion of its collection taken from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Francis Davis Millet was instrumental in starting the Art School attached to the Museum and getting Emil Otto Grundmann (1844 - 1890) appointed as its first director. Originally located in a highly ornamented terra cotta brick Gothic Revival building designed by John Hubbard Sturgis and located on Copley Square in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, it moved to its current location on Huntington Avenue, Boston's "Avenue of the Arts," in 1909. The museum's present building was commenced in 1907, when museum trustees hired architect Guy Lowell to create a master plan for a museum that could be built in stages as funding was obtained for each phase. The first section of Lowell’s neoclassical design was completed in 1909, and featured a 500-foot (150 m) façade of cut granite along Huntington Avenue, the grand rotunda, and the associated exhibition galleries. Mrs. Robert Dawson Evans then funded the entire cost of building the next section of the museum’s master plan. This wing along the Back Bay Fens, opened in 1915 and houses painting galleries. From 1916 through 1925, John Singer Sargent created the art that lines the rotunda and the associated colonnade. Numerous additions enlarged the building throughout the years including the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968 and the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997. This wing now houses the museum's cafe, restaurant, and gift shop as well as exhibition space. The libraries at the Museum of Fine Arts house an extensive collection of 320,000 items. The William Morris Hunt Memorial Library is named in honor of the Vermont native and Boston painter and arts teacher, many of whose works are in the museum's permanent collection. Among the museum's holdings of Hunt's canvases is the 1866 Italian Peasant Boy. The current president of the Museum of Fine Arts is George T.M. Shackelford, formerly the museum's chair of European art. A native of North Carolina, Shackelford graduated from Dartmouth College and Yale University. He serves as President of the Association of Art Museum Curators. Shackelford formerly worked at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas, as the curator of European painting and sculpture. 2000s expansion In the mid-2000s, the museum embarked on a major renovation project. This includes the construction of a new wing for the arts of the Americas, redesigned and expanded education facilities, and extensive renovations of its European galleries, visitor services, and conservation facilities. This expansion will increase the size of the MFA by 28% with an additional 133,500 square feet (12,400 m2) of space. The new wing is was designed in a restrained, contemporary style by the London architectural firm of Foster and Partners, under the directorship of Lord Norman Foster. Groundbreaking for the addition took place in 2006. In the process, the present garden courtyard will be transformed into a climate-controlled year-round glass enclosure. Landscape architects Gustafson Guthrie Nichol have redesigned the Huntington Avenue and Fenway entrances, gardens, access roads, and interior courtyards. The opening of the new wing is scheduled for late 2010. Collection and exhibits "Nine Dragons" handscroll section, by Chen Rong, 1244 AD, Chinese Song Dynasty, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Some highlights of the MFA's collection include: * Egyptian artifacts including sculptures, sarcophogi, and jewelry. * French impressionist and post-impressionist works including Paul Gauguin's Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? (D'où venons-nous? Que sommes-nous? Où allons-nous?) as well as works by Manet, Renoir, Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, Cézanne and many others. * 18th and 19th century American art, including many works by John Singleton Copley, Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent. * the Morse collection of 5,000 pieces of Japanese pottery, part of the largest museum collection of Japanese works outside of Japan. * the Gund Gallery which hosts temporary exhibits while a Japanese garden provides a quiet, contemplative space outside the museum itself. african art / art africain / primitive art / art primitif / arts premiers / art gallery / art tribal / tribal art / l'oeil et la main / galerie d'art premier / Agalom / Armand Auxiètre / www.african-paris.com / www.agalom.com ARTGALLERY L'OEIL ET LA MAIN 41 rue de Verneuil 75007 PARIS Tél.

__label__cc	0.718783	0.281217	Home / Hindu / Latest Post / Politics / Religion / Story / Vote Bank / Reverberation Of Hinduism Reverberation Of Hinduism Team Being Cynical Saturday, June 07, 2014 10 I am a proud Hindu. Unlike many in our own religion, I am not ashamed of proclaiming the same. The beauty and veracity of this religion has its roots way back to the ages when rest of the world was living like apes in trees and caves. It is a sad impunity that, the religion that speaks of many aspects of life, not just about itself, is systematically pushed to the brink of oblivion and mass scale sabotage. And the sabotage is nothing like a new found exaggeration. The sabotage in fact started right after the independence, when we allowed a clueless commie like Jawaharlal Nehru to become our first priminister. It is about time that the religion is spoken about and the powers that be, who have made it their sole motto in life to discard and disintegrate Hinduism, must be exposed. It is time, Hinduism is protected and preserved to its original glory, or else, time will come when Hindus of this country would be driven away from their own states, like they were from Kashmir in early eighties. Don't believe me? Then look at West Bengal and Kerala. They are almost there. How this happened? Who is to blame? Of course there are those who are more responsible than others, and they would certainly be held accountable. But again, truth be told; if you are looking for the guilty then you need only look into a mirror. We all are responsible for this decay of our religion. We all have a role in this mass scale disruption of our religion. We are responsible because, we are a bunch of highly ungrateful entities. We are the same loathsome unit who feels ashamed to love our own religion. We are a congregation of louts, who feel, being religious is such an unfashionable thing on this present day of Facebook and Twitter. Time has come to change that perception, or else, history won’t be too kind in exposing our hypocrisy and incompetence in time to come. As they say, knowledge can come from unexpected quarters. It is not always the big wicks of Hinduism like Shri Shri or Ramdev, those can elevate your doubts to polished clarity. In my life, I have met many saints and sages. Few of them are renowned while many are the nameless and faceless who work untiringly to uphold the sanctity of our religion. I ask all of them, among many, a common question. What is Hinduism means for them? Most of them answered back with that standard articulation – Hinduism is a way of life. But the best answer I got for my niggling question is from a commoner, who is not a saint, but seems to have immense knowledge of our religion. I am glad that I met him by chance. According to him, Hinduism is all about loving everything around us; living or dead. A Hindu loves everything, not because he doesn’t have any other option but because a Hindu simply doesn’t know how to hate. Bang-on, I would say. This might sound little over simplification of a complex subject like religion but nonetheless, the explanation matches perfectly to what I was searching for, all this while. Now getting back to the issue of incapacitation of our religion. Rather a systematic subverting at that. We will get to individuals a little later but first let’s look at groups who have made it their mission to show Hinduism in bad light. How many times you have seen our movies depicting a Hindu as a bad omen in the whole plot? Knowing the number of liberals that crowd our Bollywood, this phenomenon is more than expected but then, there should be facts behind every mission; good or bad. The same lot, that finds it quite easy to malign Hindus at any given opportunity, seldom are seen going ballistic on any other religion. I know fear of your life scatters away every sensibility of yours but then, are Hindus such innocent preys? Why an atrocious character against Muslims has to be one Rathore, Suryavanshi or Mishra? The character not only has to be a Hindu but an upper caste Hindu. Recently I saw the movie ‘Shaurya’. It’s a good movie but copied, scene-by-scene from the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Men Of Honor’. I still give that to Bollywood because there is a severe scarcity of ideas out here. So that is fine. My worry is not that they have shamelessly copied it yet again but lies in the context of the movie. To make a movie to show our armed forces as a bunch of louts doing all kinds of inhuman acts in the valley is little absurd. Do the copycats realize how many of our soldiers we lose every year in that place? They perhaps never would realize because they simply don’t care. While ‘Men Of Honor’ has a genuine message, copying that vis-à-vis Hindu atrocities against the Muslims of this nation is way out of place and flabbergasting. And hang-on, the story revolves around a place from where thousands of Hindu Kasmiri Pundits were thrown out. Do these messiahs of humanity have the gall to make a movie on that shameful exodus? They won’t because Hindus are perpetually bad. So anything wrong happening to the Hindus is justified. And when the movie equates the atrocities of whites against the blacks in USA (that is what is shown in Men Of Honor) with that of the imaginary Hindus against the Muslims in India, there where things starts to look ugly. Blacks were so much deprived of their rights that there was multiple numbers of uprisings in history to balance the society. Is the scenario same here with Muslims of India? Being in a sovereign nation, Muslims still enjoy their own form of civil code; they enjoy article 370 which literally hands over the exclusive rights of an Indian region in their hands. We had a priminister who once said, Muslims have the first rights to all national resources. White-Black indifference is same as Hindu-Muslim divide in India? Seriously? And who are the star cast & crew of this movie? Yes the usual suspects, the liberals who always uphold the nationalism by downplaying Hindus. The cast list is led by the cool dude, the actor of substance and the second biggest liberal after Nehru, the one and only Rahul Bose; the same Rahul Bose who is seen hobnobbing with other liberals’ par-excellence like Nandita Das and Mahesh Bhatt. Rahul Bose is a proud member of the notorious group of everlasting Pakistan and Kashmiri separatist apologists. And as expected, Rahul Bose has to fight against two nasty Hindus to save one Javed Khan in the movie. As if the absurdity and lie peddling hasn’t gone through the roof by the end of the movie, the idea of listing out the number of inhuman acts of Indian Army in the valley has to be played out. And that is not all. They ask the greatest secular India has ever produced; another grade-1 Pakistan sympathizer, Sharukh Khan to narrate what exactly ‘Shaurya’ stands for; to all of us. I agree there are atrocities of our Army in Kashmir but is the movie a holistic approach in discussing the issue or a plain and filthy attempt at defaming the Indian Army is general and Hindus in particular? If you haven’t seen it then I must urge you to watch the movie first. Even we have allowed foreigners to malign our religion. How come so indifferent we have become to our own identity? I remember the history teacher of my school days. He once said – write your own history or else some foreigner after seeing great monuments like Konark would say; when Konark temple was built, people of Odisha and in general India were naked. And boy, don’t you see the words of my teacher reflecting on the filthy work of a certain Wendy Doniger through her book – ‘The Hindus’? She could muster courage to bundle Hinduism in one word ‘Sexuality’ because she knew, her filth would go unchallenged among Hindus. She knew it because we are basically incompetent to defend what we stand for. She also knew that, there would be ample liberal frauds in India like Alcoholic Aiyar who would support her lewdness in the name of secularism and vote bank. Do you think these liberals would have tolerated and supported, had she written such abject obscenity against Muslims and their religion? I mean, would our liberals have allowed the book to be published in India at the first place? Who we should blame here? Wendy Doniger or Alcoholic Aiyer or ourselves only? The Alcoholic Aiyars, the Digvijay Singhs, the Mulayam Yadavs, The Lalus and the Donigers of the world are just the symptoms. The real malaise lies within all Hindus, who let these highly communal and charlatan individuals to spread their poison against Hindus and Hinduism. Even lesser know people, people who fancy to throw their penny worth at every damn instance, don’t let their notorious attempt in maligning Hinduism go unnoticed. Below is the direct incepts of a comment I received in one of my recently published blogs. Just look at the hate. Look at the hate for me…err..for all Hindus like me. And the suspect goes by the name Cynthia Pinto. Does the name sounds logical enough to have her hate against Hindus? May be, may be not but the lunacy coming from her becomes too obvious knowing or rather guessing her own religion. After all, people have started to object mass scale conversion so that converted souls like her would be few and far to find in near future. Never mind, what is there in the name? Or is there? Read her comment – You sound like a very anti minority person to me. by taking citations from Mahabarata you are trying to propagate Hindutva through a very vicious manner. How different are you from the fanatic Muslim clerics, may I ask so. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and views. Why do you sound so anguish taking it so personally? I'm pro Modi as well, I'm very happy he has become our PM, not because he represents the Hindus or he is from BJP but because of his governance beyond excellence in Gujarat alone. So please refrain from being so obnoxiously cynical. Anti-minority, I am that is. Really? And what are my specific crimes to receive such a wrath? I did the unpardonable sin of citing a verse from ‘Bhagwat Gita’ in the blog. So I naturally become anti-minority and communal with that. Citing a verse from ‘Bhagwat Gita’ is equivalent to being a fanatic Muslim Cleric who advocates killing people for the heck of it. God save these myopic morons. And by the way, I was propagating vicious Hindutwa agendas. Vicious agendas? Hope she understands the meaning of the word she has written. If at all anything vicious about propagating a particular religion is concerned, then one must not look much beyond the mushrooming missionaries with an aim to convert as much poor Hindus to Christianity as possible. That is vicious agenda, my dear lady; not citing a verse from ‘Bhagwat Gita’. If you have the slightest of interest to know Hinduism then consider reading ‘Bhagwat Gita’ before commenting anything about Hinduism or Hindus. I know, your bankrupt brain won’t make you understand the veracity of ‘Bhagwat Gita’ but it will at least clear the clutter of confusion in your head about vicious agendas. But again, Cynthia Pinto is, as I said, a symptom. Problem is with us for letting such people with pea size brain to abuse our religion freely. Wake up Hindus…wake up. Or is the alarm bell not ringing for too long a period of time? Hindu Latest Post Politics Religion Story Vote Bank Saloni Jun 7, 2014, 3:50:00 PM Wow!!! What a post. You are correct when you said, Hinduism is in danger for a long time. Had the religion being fundamentally so strong, it would have perished a long time back. It is the greatness of Hinduism that it is still surviving after such prolonged atrocities. A must read for all the Hindus. Already shared the link in my Facebook and Twitter pauli Jun 7, 2014, 10:25:00 PM I would recommend all Indians, irrespective of religion, to read the book 'Breaking India' by Rajiv Malhotra. ballam Jun 8, 2014, 3:08:00 AM The beauty of our religion is that even a mortal like arjun questioned the god and he had to explain him..the very basis of vaad vivad in our religion .I heard a lecture of late swami chinmayananda who explains the basis of same caste marriage as an experiment of positive eugenics to bring out best gunas but that failed and we still follow it..according to our religion every1 is born shudra and its the karma which determines ur class as brahmin vaishya Kshatriya shudra..ex r vishwamitra ved vyas valmiki etc..by the way I liked kk Menon a lot in the movie politically.incorrect Jun 8, 2014, 7:25:00 AM Dear Cynical, the problem of Hinduism lies in itself. For any progressive and developed mind, any religion is not good enough. and we Hindus keep trying to convince our lot to believe in the greatness of Hinduism. That is not going to work because, some of the worst practices belong to our religion: Dynasty: (remember lord Ram), Castism: (even upto a point where our lower cast folks were made to live like animals), Parda: (no equal status to our woman folk) etc etc. With these kind of flaws a modern mind is sure to get repelled by religion no matter what examples you come up with. The difference between Hinduism and Islam is, Islam or Islamists never try to convince you that it is the greatest religion, they just scare their followers into believing and non-believers into submittance via use of hell, or hell on earth whatever works. Now I am not saying that Hinduism is a religion worth dying, but it will, if we keep taking the same approach. What the need of the hour is, the rise of a political Hindu, who may not accept Hinduism as the greatest religion, who may never go to temple, who may be a fan of sufi music, but politically and as a group is proud to be identified as a Hindu. We have to understand that we Hindus with our inherent tolerance are now a dwindling species with only one country India, while other religions spread like plague, we are being contained more and more, and if we can't protect our motherland, we will have no place in the world. What is required for a Hindu is to read the writing on the wall, how intolerant and non-accommodating other religions are, and he needs to build a secure future for his future generations, among the hostilities inflicted by other religions in the past and recent past. What is needed is a Hindu who wouldn't be debating whose religion is the best, but who would be defending his beliefs accepting that Hinduism is what defines him, we will get rid of the problems in Hinduism slowly, but I've to defend it first. And I dont mean to harm anybody else. We Hindus also need to be as tolerant as ever, but while not yielding the power. As the Shastra says: "Kshama balwaan ka abhooshan hai" (Generosity suits the powerful only), a weak person's mercy is just laughable, while it is a virtue of the powerful. We need to remember this and not yield the power at any cost, but be generous and tolerant, that is my request, those are our ethos. The rise of Political Hindu is required, and may the sense prevail among the cacophony and propaganda of paid media and intellectually bankrupt liberals. Aditya Jun 8, 2014, 3:39:00 PM Better than the article itslef !!! Good one ... Guest Jun 9, 2014, 6:07:00 PM Dear Politically.Incorrect, While I agree with many of your points, In my humble opinion the first paragraph does not truly support rest of your comment. Due to lousy education system and continuous brainwash, we Indians have lost our critical thinking capabilities. We are unable to distinguish between value system embedded in Hinduism, its message towards Life itself and the social systems (caste, dowry) prevalent in the society. Like a pack of sheep we bleat whatever pseudo intellectuals bleat about mixed up identities without taking into account the generation/progressive development/ degeneration of a social system. It is this inability to distinguish between embedded values and the social system that pushes the modern mind to move away from the religion. No political Hindu would fully help the cause of Hindus and Hinduism itself. It is not just pride of being Hindu but courage to address and collectively solve the social ills without any guilt and self loathing is the key for resurgence and survival. I would suggest people with inquisitive mind to read the article about the genesis of caste system in India found in http://www.britishempire.co.uk/article/castesystem.htm. The varna system based on intellectual standing in society got corrupted into a rigid caste system around 1835 that we see today in India. Monetary wealth replaced moral wealth which has made many Indians sell their souls to greed and treachery. Also suggest reading "Alberuni's India by Edward Sachau" which reports a social condition of India between 1015 AD to 1030 AD and gives a glimpse of varna system and prime position of Women in the society. You are right in wishing about sense prevailing among the cacophony and propaganda of paid media and morally corrupt liberal fatheads. politically.incorrect Jun 9, 2014, 10:11:00 PM Dude, see I totally support the cause of hinduism, but any religion is defined by the action of its followers and not by mere written ideologies. Like Islam is judged by the action of its followers, Christianity is judged by the actions of their followers not jesus (he was a great guy otherwise). Therefore we can't keep hinduism and hindus separately we hinduism will bear burden of blame from the acts of hindus, which are not so great by the way. Plus, Hinduism or any other religion at the end of the day is just a dogma, and a mind free from dogma can see things clearly. I give you one argument to discredit any religion... If any religion of the world is started by some kind of godhead himself, then why the hell every religious text only talks about the geographical area surrounding the particular region?? Why the heck Sri Krishna couldn't tell Arjun about a mystic land of America and go and rule there rather than wiping out the whole humanity. I mean didn't even mention it anywhere. Why Mohammad could go to moon and come back, but just couldn't tell his followers to move out of desert and settle in India rather than looting caravans in deserts? etc etc. for every religious text on earth, everything is just a human fantasy and fiction and we have to define our generation's religion (or moral code more accurately) ourselves but still the sense of belonging will come from Hinduism, because it can change and adapt unlike some other religions I can mention. deepu Jun 10, 2014, 6:34:00 PM Dude, this reply is not in sync with the original theme of the article but is a counter-argument to one of your points regarding the absence of geographical information in religious texts. I am not sure about other religions but when it comes to Vedic scriptures you certainly haven't bothered to go through any of these texts before commenting. So let me do my bit to clarify things. First of all, the so called America came into existence around 3 centuries ago although the land existed a long time back. Lord Krishna was advising Arjuna about his duty as a kshatriya to fight against irreligious people and those supporting them. This was not a time to go on a holiday to a distant land. Anyways let me come to the main point. The Bhagavat Purana states that this planet is composed of 7 islands (or dweeps) as it is called in Sanskrit. These 7 dweeps can be taken to mean the present day 7 continents. There is also mention of far-away lands (apart from Gandahar - present day Afghanistan) like the land of the Yavanas, Mlecchas, Hunas etc. These are categories of people who didn't follow the Vedic system. Those do not sufficient mention because probably they didn't act in sync with Vedas and therefore could not be a model for guiding the human society. And all of this was written before the advent of GPS. What to speak of this planet, the Bhagavata Purana gives a good enough description of the planetary system, the hellish, earthly, heavenly planets and the spiritual planets which are beyond the realm of this material universe. You may question: is this fact or fantasy ? I don't know but the Vedic experts and sages agree on this. Moreover please note that Christianity and Islam are very very recent religions. Before their advent in the west and middle east people did have this system of worship of gods and godesses although theirs might not be in sync with the Vedic system. Go to Rome, you still have remains of temples of gods and godesses but all that has now been wiped out by the intolerant Abrahamic religions. Hope you rethink about your view ... politically.incorrect Jun 11, 2014, 5:20:00 PM Well that is jolly good if it is so, but then why do we turn to Vedas to approve them only when same discoveries are made by modern science. I mean if all the geography is mentioned there, then some future scientific secrets must also be there already. Why dont we explore it from that perspective and lets discover something in Vedas which is not yet discovered by modern science... indian fan Jun 30, 2014, 2:23:00 PM the big problem is disunity among HIndus	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17169
__label__cc	0.725817	0.274183	Q&A with Jena: Fuel cells, gravitational waves, and aloe juice We hope you enjoyed our first Q&A with our contributors, Sally and Anastasia. Today I chat with another contributor, Jena Barnes, who is a Stanford alum in Materials Science and currently a PhD student at Duke. Jena is passionate about increasing diversity in STEM fields and she finds the best content on this topic to share through our social media feeds. Though I’ve exchanged many emails with Jena, this was the first time talking to her in person—which was so fun. AND she introduced me to aloe juice, which is delicious. Go try it. Q. When did you first become interested in science? I just remember being very curious about things [as a kid]. My favorite word was ‘why’: why is it like this why does it work like that? [My parents were like] enough already! It must have been when I was around 10 or 12, my parents got me a subscription to National Geographic. I was obsessed with it – and still am! It broadened my knowledge base and I learned what was going on in the world, what people were studying, and what the interesting problems were. I’ve known since then that I wanted to do something related to science and engineering. Q. What is the focus of your current research? I would say the general area of my research is using nanostructured materials for energy conversion processes. The lab that I work in is the Thermodynamics and Sustainable Energy Lab and most of the research we do is focused toward renewable energy applications. I mostly work with plasmonic materials and substrates as well as nanoparticles. Right now I’m trying to build a reactor that makes hydrogen for fuel cells. [The problem with the current process for making hydrogen] is that you have to heat up the materials to 300 C, which uses a lot of energy. Where is that energy coming from to heat that up? Fossil fuels. So our idea is to use these plasmonic substrates as a fuel-efficient source to jump-start the reaction [to produce hydrogen]. Q. What recent breakthrough or discovery in science are you really excited about? Hands down, gravitational waves! I think it’s probably the most important discovery of the last hundred years. I really like what I’m doing, but if I could go back and choose a different field, I would probably be an astrophysicist. Q. What is your favorite class you’ve ever taken? Probably physical chemistry in undergrad. It was really hard, but it was the first time I was able to fundamentally understand chemistry from a physics stand point. Like, why do molecules bind the way they do? Why do their vibrations matter? I took that my senior year of college and I remember thinking: Freshman should be taking this! It seems counter-intuitive, but that’s actually where you should start in chemistry, from foundational topics. I actually think people should start by learning quantum mechanics because of this class. Then you can really understand what’s happening and why it’s happening. (Heidi also took physical chemistry with the amazing Jenn Dionne, who we interviewed in 2015!) Q. It’s a day in lab, what are you drinking? (Ahem, not at the lab bench…obviously…) Lately I’ve been drinking aloe juice. It’s a juice that has these big chunks of aloe in it. I buy it at Costco in these big packs…	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17171

Photo: Paul KaneThe Perth International golf tournament received a massive boost on Wednesday with Emirates airline announcing its support for the event. Emirates has added an additional 10 tournaments from the European Tour to the list of tournaments that it already sponsors, until the end of the 2017 season. As part of the agreement, the airline becomes a worldwide partner and official airline of the European Tour. Along with its existing nine European Tour golf events culminating to the prestigious DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, Emirates will add the BMW PGA Championship, the Nordea Masters, the D+D Real Czech Masters, the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, the Portugal Masters, the Italian Open, the Joburg Open, the South Africa Open Championship, the Nelson Mandela Championship and the Perth International to its stable. Nigel Hopkins, executive vice president service departments, Emirates Group and George O’Grady, CEO of the European Tour, made the announcement on Wednesday morning during a press conference in London. “Golf is one of the most popular sports in the world, and as a global sponsorship platform it has been immensely successful for us. Emirates’ increased investment in the European Tour is a natural move which will expand our global reach to golf enthusiasts across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia,” Mr Hopkins said. “Engaging with our customers and fans through sports has been part of Emirates’ brand strategy since our early days. It makes sense for us – as an airline that connects the world – to align our brand with prestigious golf tournaments where the world’s most talented players come together.” The addition of the Perth International, which will be held in October 2014, extends the airline’s support for the sport in Australia, which includes Queensland’s PGA Championship and the Emirates Australian Open. Mr O’Grady said the increased investment would give the European Tour the confidence to support tournaments globally, enhancing not only its widespread geographical footprint but also the development of its business in new markets across the world. “(It’s) a strategy that we at the European Tour share with Emirates. We have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with Dubai for the past 25 years and today’s announcement is the perfect way for us to launch the beginning of the next phase of our partnership” continued O’Grady. As a leading supporter of major golf tournaments across the globe, Emirates is the official airline of 24 golf events worldwide. Beyond its commitment to 19 European Tour events, Emirates also sponsors the Thailand Open (Thailand-One Asian Tour), the Emirates Australian Open, the Australian PGA Championship (Australia-Australasian Tour), the Indonesia PGA Championships (One-Asia Tour) and the Boeing Classic (USA) on the PGA Champions Tour in the United States. Follow WAtoday on Twitter 苏州美甲美睫培训学校 — Comments Off on Matt Joyce returns home after Dubai ordeal Matt Joyce returns home after Dubai ordeal ‘Enormously difficult’ ordeal: Matt Joyce with his family. Photo: SuppliedAfter five years trapped in Dubai on fraud charges, Matt Joyce has flown home with his surfboard – itching for a wave – but also to confront questions about millions paid into a Channel Islands bank account and how he paid for a farm in Victoria while he was fighting to prove his innocence. “It’s been dealt with by seven judges across three courts across two countries,” Mr Joyce told a news conference on Wednesday after landing at Melbourne Airport. “There’ve been six audits and it’s all been transparently resolved and our innocence established.” Mr Joyce arrived to a media scrum as he wheeled his luggage and surfboard through the airport. Eager that he and wife Angela Higgins and their three children rebuild their lives, he said: “We are now safely home in Australia”. This follows his sudden acquittal last month on property fraud charges, for which he had been sentenced to 10 years’ jail and received a $25 million fine. The Dubai Court of Appeal also upheld the acquittal of his former colleague Marcus Lee, who expects to return home with his wife, Julie, in January. They have been delayed by the red tape involved in getting their Yorkshire terrier, Dudley, cleared of rabies so her can fly with them. Mr Joyce had been accused of receiving about $US6 million for his share in a plot to swindle Australian developer Sunland out of more than $US12 million in a land sale on Dubai Waterfront, where he was managing director. The Dubai Court of Appeal finally rejected Sunland’s claim – as had judges in Australia – that Mr Joyce and his Geelong Grammar schoolmate Angus Reed had duped the company into believing Mr Reed’s company, Prudentia, had development rights over a plot called D17. The court also found no link could be established between D17 and money transferred from Prudentia to Mr Joyce. Mr Joyce was asked at his news conference how he paid almost $6 million for a farm called Pardoo, in the western districts of Victoria, a deal which began a month before his arrest, in December 2008, and was settled in August the next year. “That farm was paid for by the sale of two properties in Sydney, [as] established by the courts and audits,” Mr Joyce said. Pressed on whether those properties were sold to a Joyce family trust, he agreed they were sold to “ourselves”. The Joyce team rejects any suggestion he bought the farm with the proceeds of the D17 deal. Regarding money paid into his family’s Eightblue trust in Jersey, the team says the money was held for Prudentia. Independent audits showed all but $1.25 million – owed to Mr Joyce for work he had performed for Prudentia on the Croydon Golf Course in Victoria – was returned to the firm, and this was accepted by the courts. ($7,191,000 was returned to Prudentia.) Justice Clyde Croft, in a parallel civil case in the Victorian Supreme Court, found Sunland acted “in wilful disregard of known facts” and for an “ulterior purpose”, and it was willing to “unjustifiably” implicate Mr Joyce. Ms Higgins said the affect on the whole family was devastating but it was “profoundly devastating for Matt to be innocent and to have to stand your ground for all those years. Occasionally we gave in but we never gave up, and we new the truth would prevail.” Mr Joyce thanked his legal team, Liberal senator Helen Kroger, former prime minister Malcolm Fraser and – while he could not say how much a recent intervention by Prime Minister Tony Abbott had helped – he was grateful for that and the diplomatic effort. He would not comment on the difference between the effort made between the Abbott and former Labor government. “I’d also like to thank the people who have been by my side,” Mr Joyce said. “That’s my amazing wife, Ange, and my precious children.” 苏州美甲美睫培训学校 — Comments Off on Fed will take ‘baby steps’ to ease taper shock, say economists Fed will take ‘baby steps’ to ease taper shock, say economists Any change in monetary policy settings by the United States Federal Reserve will probably take the least intrusive shape possible to avoid creating market shocks, if and when there is a reduction in monetary stimulus. Economists are speculating whether the central bank will wind-back its $US3 trillion-plus stimulus program at the last meeting of the year in Washington, concluding Thursday local time. A decision to taper will send a firm message that the world’s biggest economy is truly in recovery after five years of intense Fed support. But some experts still say there’s no way “tapering” won’t be received as bad news for investors. Severe measures can be all but ruled out, economists say, as protecting financial stability plays an increasing role in the Fed’s thinking. When outgoing Fed chairman Ben Bernanke first signalled the reduction of stimulus in May global markets were wiped out and the ASX 200 alone lost more than 100 points in the following session. And when traders wrongly guessed the taper was coming in September stocks surged in response to the Fed’s decision to keep stimulus intact.Baby steps Commonwealth Bank of Australia chief economist Michael Blythe foreshadowed a “baby steps” approach when the Fed finally makes its move. “The Fed has spent a lot of time preparing people for this move but equally there’s still a degree of uncertainty about the US recovery and the last thing you want to do is choke that off prematurely,” he said. Mr Blythe anticipates an initial reduction of around $US5 billion to $US10 billion from the $US85 billion in monthly bond purchases dictated by current policy settings. “What you’ll probably see is a bit of forward guidance stressing that interest rates are going to remain low. The worst outcome for them in a sense is that if the market starts pricing in rate rises,” he added. Perpetual’s head of investment strategy, Matthew Sherwood, suggested three approaches the Fed could take with the taper to keep markets in check. Besides ramping up its forward guidance, and therefore “anchor expectations” for the Fed funds rates going forward, “they’re probably going to reduce the interest rate they pay on the excess reserves held at the Fed,” Mr Sherwood said. “That would again lead to an easing in financial conditions at the short end of the curve.” He also alluded to the Fed avoiding backing intself into a timetable for the withdrawal of stimulus to retain its flexibility. “The big thing about the decision is they don’t want to tighten financial conditions in the US,” said Mr Sherwood, who correctly predicted no taper in September. Bank of America-Merrill Lynch economists came up with three scenarios for the December 17-18 meeting: no taper; taper; and tapering with stronger forward guidance. UBS economists think the Fed will wait until January because US inflation is low but in the event of any move the bank suggested the US dollar would be poised to benefit. Credit Suisse strategist Damien Boey stressed that the impact would come down to the reaction in bond markets which will have consequences for the cost of borrowing among Americans. He likened tapering to a rate hike and said: “The real question is whether or not the Fed can actually control bond yields from here… Nobody really has answered that.” Mr Boey described the Fed’s quantitative easing as a kind of social contract where the central bank assures individuals “you can afford to lever up, there’s no problem with that” through the promise of low rates. “Historically American households have borrowed on a 30-year fixed mortgage and post GFC we’ve really gone back to that regime.” He rated the chance of a reduction in stimulus at the December meeting as better than 50 per cent. “It’s very hard to argue that tapering will be a good thing for the market.” 苏州美甲美睫培训学校 — Comments Off on Bill Vlahos claims The Edge owes him $32m Bill Vlahos claims The Edge owes him $32m Bill Vlahos claims The Edge has owed him money since 2005.The operator of failed punting club The Edge, Bill Vlahos, claims it owes him $32 million. Mr Vlahos, who declared bankruptcy on Monday night, also claims to have just $6200 in the bank and owe $26.5 million to a group of investors in The Edge. Fraud squad police and racing authorities are investigating The Edge and Mr Vlahos’ racing operation, BC3 Thoroughbreds, which has also collapsed. Paper losses in the betting club are estimated to hit $500 million, but the actual amount of money invested by punters is as yet unknown. Mr Vlahos has given a list of assets and liabilities in a statement of affairs signed on Sunday and filed with bankruptcy regulator the Australian Financial Security Authority. In the statement, he claimed the punting club has owed him the money since 2005. He said he owed $46,000 on credit cards with Westpac and the Commonwealth Bank and an additional $100,000 to the Tax Office. Among his assets, he listed a $10 million loan to BC3, his $1.2 million home in Torquay, which is held in his wife’s name, and BC3’s thoroughbred facility at Connewarre, on the Surf Coast. He valued the Connewarre facility, held by his Noble Edict Investment Trust, at between $2.5 million and $3 million. Early last week at the Connewarre property a car was set on fire and Mr Vlahos was allegedly assaulted. Mr Vlahos said the Noble Edict trust pays him annual distributions, with the last, of $100,000, received in July. He also listed as assets two racehorses, of unknown value, one of which is at the stables of trainer David Hayes. He says he does not know the location of the other horse. 苏州美甲美睫培训学校 — Comments Off on Step closer for ACT’s sustainable city farm Step closer for ACT’s sustainable city farm Gavin Williams’ well-fed chooks. Photo: Melissa Adams Firm favourite … Gavin Williams and Missy with a tromboncino zucchini, raised from seed, that has been planted in a bale of pea straw. Photo: Melissa Adams It is good to end 2013 with a food proposal for the New Year. Gavin Williams is secretary of Canberra City Farm and is working with the ACT government to find a site to start the city farm project in 2014. Two years ago, my godson, Duncan Sheil, and his family, who live in the hills behind Brisbane, took his mother and me on a Sunday visit to Northey Street City Farm in suburban Windsor. We wandered around the organic community kitchen garden, looked at the chook Hilton, watched papermaking, bought local strawberries and Montville coffee from food stalls in an outdoor market and indigenous plants from an onsite nursery, and joined the children in a play area where there was a sand pit, and swings hanging from tree branches. This is the model Williams wants to create in Canberra, though his ideal is Ceres, a city farm in Melbourne since the 1980s, about which he spoke at the Food Security Mini Expo held in Canberra in November, hosted by See Change and Fusion Horticulture. Canberra City Farm is a not-for-profit group focused on responsible food production and sustainable cities. It is a hub for connecting farmers, food producers and urban people. The group was behind the Floriade urban food garden this year (an Urban Agriculture Australia project, uaa.org.au), which showed 25 technologies, including improvised vertical planting systems, composting methods, aquaculture and keeping chooks. Costa Georgiadis, of Gardening Australia, was so taken with the garden that he joined a roster to volunteer there. At home in Rivett, Gavin Williams, wife Kate Eversteyn and their three children have a large hen house with eight chickens of four varieties – australorp, hy-line, light sussex and plymouth rock. The chook run is bordered with dorato d’asti celery, which is allowed to go to seed, and fruit trees – plum, apricot, apple, citrus and pomegranate. Williams created different levels in the sloping garden to prevent rain run-off. He has raised seedlings of pumpkins, cucumbers, eggplants, heirloom varieties of eggplants from Diggers – Italian striped listada di gandia and round white rosa bianca. He also has Lebanese cucumbers, beans to be dried for soups, including borlotti, haricot and red kidney, heirloom tomatoes and Christmas grape tomatoes, corn, capsicums and his favourite zucchini, tromboncino. He has planted vegetables into bales of pea straw that make a dividing wall next to the children’s play area. He also raised seedlings for the Canberra City Farm stall at the night market organised by the Canberra Environment Centre on December 6. They have built a pizza oven in their back garden for this season of celebration and have a wide variety of herbs for the pizzas – oregano, sage, basil, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, chives, coriander, mint and Vietnamese mint. One garden bed is devoted to potatoes and garlic, with lettuce, rocket, spinach and spring onions for the salad bowl. Their favourite pizza recipe (see panel, left) is from The Margaret Fulton Cookbook (1968, revised 2004). > Susan Parsons is a Canberra writer.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17180

__label__cc	0.687822	0.312178	Charming Beauty Everything a Fairy Tale Should Be Disney's Beauty and the Beast will always be my favorite, but Robin McKinley's version comes in a close second. With lush description, a down-to-earth heroine and a plot that's lovely in its simplicity, Beauty breathes freshness into the familiar tale. First published in 1978, McKinley's debut novel has definitely stood the test of time. And for good reason. It's a sweet, m agical tale about the power of true love. The story revolves around a wealthy family made up of a sea merchant father and his three daughters: Grace, Hope and Honour (nicknamed "Beauty"). When the Hustons experience an abrupt reversal of fortune, they're forced to move into a humble country cottage far from the city which they've called home. Surrounded by thick woods, their new house is small and isolated; nonetheless, the family is glad to be there. Even when they hear frightening tales about the forest. It's true that no animals seem to dwell amid the denseness of the trees, but there can't possibly be an ogre living in the woods. Surely, that's another one of the country people's silly superstitions. When Mr. Huston loses his way in the forest, he returns with an unbelievable story. It's a tale of magic, enchantment and a beast straight out of a young girl's nightmare. If it weren't for the perfect red rose he shows the girls, they wouldn't believe it. The flower convinces them - their father's telling the truth, meaning he must fulfill his promise to return to the beast's lair, where he will remain prisoner forever. Beauty begs to take his place, but Mr. Huston will not allow it. Plain and bookish, Beauty knows she, of all the sisters, has the least chance of flourishing in society - she rides into the forest, resolute. Trapped in a magic castle with a horrifying beast, Beauty struggles to hide her fear. The more she explores her new world, the more she comes to realize that nothing in the enchanted forest is quite what it seems. Not even the monster that haunts the halls of the palace. Whispers of a terrible secret waft through the air, but Beauty can't quite understand. What happened to the cursed manor? Who is the beast? Is he truly as horrible as he seems? Can Beauty find a way out of her entrapment or is she doomed to spend all the years of her life imprisoned by an ogre? Although McKinley makes her story feel new, she doesn't stray far from the classic tale. It remains a predictably, comfortingly tender story about looking beyond outward appearances. Beauty, herself, reinforces this idea - she doesn't know she's pretty, has no idea how brave she really is, and can't quite understand why the beast admires her so. I love that she's a diamond-in-the-rough, not nearly as polished as Belle, but just as charming. Even though I knew exactly how it would end, I found her story compelling. And sweet. And delightful. Precisely how a fairy tale should be. (Readalikes: other classic fairy tales) If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG for scary situations Posted by Susan at 1:32 PM Labels: B Grade Books, Clean Reads, Fairy Tales, Hogwarts Reading Challenge, PG-rated books, Robin McKinley Stephanie 26 July, 2010 17:41 This sounds good! I was just reading Trisha Jan Brett's version of Beauty and the Beast, and I was thinking it would lend itself well to a novel. Your favorite sister 27 July, 2010 07:37 Didn't we have that book growing up? It seems really familiar! I love this book! I read it years ago... I think it's time to read it again! :) Laura at Library of Clean Reads 27 July, 2010 11:18 Thanks for bringing this up. It will definitely go on my wishlist. I would love to read this to my daughter. Is it for YA or would a younger child (9 years) enjoy it too? Susan 27 July, 2010 11:29 Stephanie - Oooh, I love Jan Brett. I'll have to look for that one. P - I'm pretty sure I got a copy of BEAUTY after hearing Robin McKinley speak at a writer's conference when I was in middle school or high school. Not sure, though. Robin - Definitely worth a re-read :) Laura - Good question. There's nothing in the book that would be offensive to a 9-year-old, but it's written in kind of a dense, old-fashioned way, so I don't know if it would keep your daughter's interest or not.

__label__wiki	0.829861	0.829861	Boston Compact Serving Students by Bringing Educators Together Our Compact Boston Compact Schools Sharing Practices Boston Educators Collaborative Networked Improvement Communities News of the Compact “Growth is the Expectation”: How one Roxbury School creates a Culture of Achievement for Scholars and Educators In a K2 classroom organized around learning centers, students work with blocks while another has a snack. I spoke with Principal Ali Dutson of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Mission Grammar School the day after the announcement was made that her team won a national award for “Innovation in Catholic Education” from the magazine Today’s Catholic Teacher. Though she, rightly, gets a lot of credit for this recognition as the school’s leader, Ali steers the conversation to her teachers. “I’m focused on making my teachers feel proud. Teachers who feel successful are more successful,” she says. This mantra is part of Ali’s broader vision for Mission Grammar as a school with a culture of achievement for both students—to whom they refer as “scholars”—and teachers. This vision became a priority three years ago when she did an inventory on the school’s culture as a part of her Lynch Academy Fellowship. The resulting action plan involved approaching areas like curriculum, family interactions, and hiring with a culture of achievement in mind. This is a particularly important move towards equity for a school community like Mission Grammar that is 95% students of color—research shows that students of color are often given less challenging instruction than their white peers. To combat this trend, Mission Grammar’s culture of achievement prioritizes a growth mindset among scholars and teachers, the idea that if you believe you (and your students) can achieve something, you (and they) are significantly more likely to achieve it. Another part of Mission Grammar’s culture of achievement is making feedback a positive part of the teaching experience. The mantra is “I’ll be better tomorrow than I was today,” explains Ali. Exemplifying differentiated learning, students access curriculum through different activities in Ms. Reynold’s 1st grade classroom. In this spirit, Ali and the Mission Grammar team joined the Roxbury Special Education Network, an initiative of the Boston Compact that facilitates collaboration among a network of school leaders in Roxbury to improve special education. When these educators visited Mission Grammar, many were impressed by several of the teachers’ use of differentiation in the classroom to support inclusion, and wondered how those teachers could support the rest of the school in improving inclusive practices. Donette Wilson-Wood, Principal of the Haynes Early Ed. Center (BPS), noted that finding ways to provide more male role models who reflect the diversity of the students could help support growth mindset. This idea, Ali says, has pushed her team to think creatively: they are considering a program for the older boys to mentor younger boys and have reached out to another school about the possibility of sharing male mentors. Ali leads by example by incorporating feedback like she receives from the Network into her leadership style. “The ability to strategize with other sectors has been a game changer for our school,” Ali says of the Network. “Having access to opportunities to grow and collaborate to be better…is really special. It’s part of what our kids deserve as Boston residents.” by Elise Swinford BlogNetworks, Roxbury, Special Education, SWD How One Roxbury School is Innovating Instruction by Changing Mindsets © Copyright 2020 Boston Compact.

When the 1,500 sq ft store opens this summer, IRO will join other high-end retailers such as Philip Lim, Carven, Carolina Herrera, J Crew Women, Maje and Sandro in the area, which is fast becoming London’s newest luxury address behind Bond Street, Sloane Street and Mount Street. The Paris-based brand, launched in 2004 by brothers Laurent and Arik Bitton, is looking to open three or four additional stores across London and the UK in the near future. Natalie Lintott, partner in Cushman & Wakefield’s central London retail team, said: “IRO’s edgy appeal will ensure success in Brompton Cross – the brand fits perfectly into the eclectic and upmarket tenant mix in the area. Brompton Cross has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years and is now firmly positioned as London’s ‘fourth luxury destination’.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17217
__label__wiki	0.743531	0.743531	Daily Gossip Evasi0n Jailbreak Snuffed Out By Upcoming iOS Update Eli Wads February 26, 2013 3:56 pm January 1, 2017 0 708 The Evasi0n jailbreak for iPhone 5 has been very long in coming, but Apple could soon release an update that could snuff out the hacking software. The Cupertino company declared on Monday that a new version of iOS 6.1.3 was handed to developers for tests last week and jailbreakers worry that the program will prevent them from breaching their smartphones, CNET News stated. iOS 6 has been one of the most difficult programs to breach in the entire jailbreaking history. Luckily, the Evasi0n jailbreak was released at the beginning of the month and iPhone, iPad and iPod owners were able to modify the aspect of their devices according to their preferences. There are basically two benefits that iPhone owners will get after the installation of the jailbreak, namely, to make significant changes on the phone’s software and to install third-party apps. As soon as it was released, Apple consumers rushed to download the software making it the fastest downloaded jailbreak to have ever been recorded for Apple’s products. At first, the iPhone maker has been indifferent in relation to the jailbreak, but its position has suffered radical changes in the past months. The company is now against these practices because they believe the stability of the system could be severely damaged after the installation of the jailbreak. Analysts claim Apple’s iPhone 5 was difficult to breach precisely because the company has been making efforts to put an end to this practice. Nevertheless, Evasi0n developers managed to avoid Apple’s restrictions and create a jailbreak that was compatible even with the latest devices. This program, however, will not be available for a long period of time as Apple tested a new iOS update last week. Even so, Evasi0n creators think they will still be able to get the new software to work with iOS 6.1.3. The jailbreak is not the only reason why Apple is getting ready for a new version of iOS. The company has been busy finding solutions for several bugs that have been affecting their reputation. Changes with Microsoft Exchange, as well as some problems with the network connectivity have been constantly reported by users, so Apple decided it was time to fix them.

__label__wiki	0.715832	0.715832	Charter Spectrum Review Charter Spectrum is a no-contract cable TV provider with three package options: Select, Silver, and Gold. At the highest tier, it has 200+ channels. Is it worth the subscription? Read on to find out. 5-point scale (the higher, the better) Premium networks included early No contract Plenty of HD channels Average DVR service Average customer service No contract cable TV provider with premium networks Charter Spectrum TV is available in 42 states across the US, and does not require a contract. It also includes premium channels like HBO, Showtime and CINEMAX in its middle-tier Silver package. However, it's also more expensive compared to other TV providers. We break down Spectrum's TV service, so you'll know what you get before subscribing. HOW CHARTER SPECTRUM TV WORKS Charter Spectrum TV is a telecommunications company that also provides internet and home voice services. You can bundle these with your TV service, or pick the TV service a la carte. Bundling lowers the price of your TV subscription, but comes with a bunch of extra fees as well. To sign up, call (855) 436-5187. Choose a package, and set an appointment for installation. A technician will then come on the date to install the service in your home. Now that you know the basics, let's go over Charter Spectrum's pros and cons. 10 REASONS TO SUBSCRIBE TO CHARTER SPECTRUM TV No contract: One of Spectrum TV's biggest strength is that it has no contract. You can subscribe month-to-month without worrying about early termination fees. If you don't like commitments, Spectrum TV is for you. In a contract? Spectrum will buy it out - up to $500. Call (855) 436-5187. Good availability: Spectrum TV is currently available in 42 states, although not all areas are covered. You can check its availability by entering your zip code on their website. You want bundling options: Charter Spectrum also provides internet and home phone. If you're looking to bundle, you can get their TV service cheaper. Each bundling option comes with 100Mbps internet and home voice service. Premium channels included early: Spectrum TV includes premium channels early on in their package tier. You get HBO, CINEMAX and Showtime in their middle-tier Silver TV package. Other providers usually offer these only at their highest tier. At Spectrum TV's highest tier, you also get STARZ, STARZ Encore, and The Movie Channel. Weather proof reception: Satellite TV services like DIRECTV are prone to service interruptions due to the weather. Spectrum TV's service is more reliable, since cables aren't affected. Spectrum TV app: Spectrum also has its own TV app. It lets you watch over 170 Live TV channels while at home, as well as On Demand content. While you're on the go, it has 60 available networks to choose from. You can also browse TV listings, schedule your DVR recordings, and watch TV on your tablet, smartphone or other portable devices through the app. Plenty of HD channels: Spectrum TV has 200+ channels in HD, and provides them for free in their TV packages. They also have 1,500+ options in their HD On Demand, including movies in 3D. You prefer simple packages with no extras: Spectrum TV only has three packages, making it easy to choose from. It's a no-nonsense packaging, without extras or unnecessary channels. If you know which channels you want and don't like channel surfing, pick Spectrum TV. You'd like to try it before buying: Spectrum TV has a 30-day money back guarantee for its service. If you don't like it for whatever reason, you can cancel its service within 30 days and get a refund. You want a smooth installation service: Spectrum TV also guarantees that their contractor will arrive on time. If the contractor doesn't arrive within the arrival window, you'll get a $20 credit. Charter Spectrum Deals 3 REASONS TO CONSIDER OTHER PAY-TV OPTIONS Extra charges: For a provider with no contract, Spectrum TV packages seem reasonably priced at first glance. However, be on the lookout for extra charges. The DVR, for example, will cost you $12.99/month. Even if you don't want a DVR unit, you'll still need the HD box, which costs $7/month. Also, you'll need to get additional receivers if you have more than one TV in your home. Average customer service: The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) rated Spectrum TV as 63, which is quite low. While it ranked higher than Comcast, it's still lower than providers such as Verizon Fios, AT&T's U-verse, DIRECTV, DISH, and Optimum. Average DVR service: Spectrum TV's standard HD DVR box can record up to 80 hours of SD and 35 hours of HD. Their enhanced DVR is a little better - it records up to six shows at once, and stores up to 150 hours of HD. Still, it's not as good as DIRECTV's Genie or DISH's Hopper 3. Alternatives to Spectrum Sling TV: If it's no-contract you're after, Sling TV is a good alternative. It's one of the cheapest live TV streaming services, and it's compatible with most devices. Its cloud DVR service is limited, but since there aren't any equipment or rental fees, it's still a value-for-money choice. It's also a lot more flexible since no equipment or installation is required. For a truly flexible subscription, Sling TV is one of the best choices.

In a nutshell, Spectrum TV is a simple, no-nonsense TV provider. We like that it has no contract, and that there are only three package options to choose from. We also like that the premium channels are included from the Silver TV package onwards, which is a plus for those who know which channels they want. Still, for its price, we would have liked to see better DVR capabilities and customer service. Although there's no contract, the monthly fees are quite high. With the added monthly DVR/equipment costs, it's almost the same as other providers. In fact, it could be more expensive when you factor in multiple TV sets. Spectrum TV is great for viewers who live alone and don't mind paying a little extra. Having no contract gives flexibility, and if you're just about the premium channels, then Spectrum TV is for you. However, if you have a bigger household, or want a long-term TV service, we suggest going with another provider.

In 2019 the Road to Ska Nation featured Mexican ska punkers Los Kung Fu Monkeys and in 2020 we introduce to Australia for the first time ever, Grand Rapids, Michigan, pioneers of ska punk Mustard Plug to lead the road to Ska Nation, culminating in the Ska Nation Festival over the labour day long week end on March 8 and 9 in Melbourne. We here at Focus Group Music have been trying to get Mustard Plug to Australia for the past 15 years and we are excited to introduce Australia to the rawkus fun and dancing that Mustard Plug bring to every live performance, with bangers such as Mr Smiley, The Beer Song, You and many others from their back catalogue. Mustard Plug started out in the punk clubs, basements and dive bars of the Midwest, playing punk-influenced ska music before most people in the U.S. had ever heard of ska. They clung to a DIY work ethic that had been ingrained in them growing up in the 1980′s hardcore punk scene and applied it to everything they would ever do together as a band. Mustard Plug released their first cassette tape themselves (1992′s Skapocalypse Now!), and played constantly to earn enough money to record their first album – 1994′s Big Daddy Multitude. Their debut full length was released on legendary NYC label Moon Records (home of Toasters, Hepcat, Dance Hall Crashers, and pretty much every other 90′s ska band of note). With their new national distribution and exposure, the band climbed into their van and performed their music to new fans across North America. Twenty-one years, 1500 shows and 200,000 album sales later, it cannot be denied that the band has surpassed all expectations and permanently staked their claim in contemporary music. Catch Mustard Plug for their first ever visit to Australia along with Australia’s favorite ska punk brats The Resignators on the road to Ska Nation.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17247
__label__wiki	0.583301	0.583301	Communities of Color Pledge to vote No on Prop 1 Phone Bank from Home Anchorage Education Association Urges No Vote on Prop 1 By adminMarch 22, 2018Blog Post The Anchorage Education Association (AEA), which represents thousands of students across the city, today announced its opposition to Proposition 1 in Anchorage. Prop 1 would repeal nondiscrimination protections already in place for transgender people, and would allow anyone to demand a person produce their birth certificate before being allowed into a bathroom. These protections have been in effect since 2015, and in that time, there has been no uptick in public safety incidents — a fact that Anchorage Chief of Police Justin Doll testified to late last year. “The members of the Anchorage Education Association are proud to stand with business and community groups in saying ‘No’ to Proposition 1. Anchorage’s non-discrimination ordinance protects everyone, but it’s particularly important for students we serve every day,” said Tom Klaameyer, President of the Anchorage Education Association. “Our educators will always stand up for students and make sure that they are safe and respected in all Anchorage schools.” The AEA’s decision follows an earlier statement given by Dr. Deena Bishop, superintendent of Anchorage School District. While the district is legally prohibited from taking positions on ballot initiatives, Superintendent Bishop made it clear that these existing protections have worked well for the past two years and that if passed, Prop 1 could not be enforced in Anchorage schools: “The enforcement of this policy is not possible. We will not stand guard at our restroom doors. So as we move forward and learn what this brings to us, we are keeping student safety in mind. There is nothing in the budget that moves forward anyone to play the role of law enforcement in the restroom.” In addition, AEA members have also offered their support: “I’m voting No on Prop 1 because I want our schools to remain safe, inclusive and welcoming for ALL students.” — Sara Dykstra “As educators, we encourage all our students to be their true selves and we celebrate their uniqueness and diversity. Shouldn’t our students who are transgender be included in that? Proposition 1 would require schools to discriminate against students who are transgender and Anchorage students deserve far better than that!” — Shauna Booton “As a teacher in Anchorage I believe that my students have a right to feel safe not just here at school but also in our community.

__label__cc	0.675687	0.324313	Dancing in Portmagee Portmagee is a small working fishing village in south Kerry overlooking Valentia harbour. The population is around 600 but every year on the May bank holiday weekend we experience a population explosion and it is hard to find a bed in the area-not that anybody spends much time in the bed! The reason is the Portmagee Dancer's Club set dance workshop. They come from the length and breadth of Ireland and beyond. Manchester, Birmingham and Coventry are well represented-not forgetting Dublin and Belfast, London and Paris. One couple has flown in from London for the last four years, just for the weekend. There are seasoned old campaigners who have travelled the round of workshops throughout the year, but there will be many who are absolute beginners. Everybody is welcomed and made to feel at home. This year there is a group of our own local children who have learned two of the local sets and are anxious to try their hand (or feet!) at a set from Clare or Galway. At the other end of the age range grandmothers and grandfathers will be there in plenty. Portmagee is a good venue for a workshop because sets have always been danced here and have never died out. The South Kerry Polka Set has been danced at house dances, weddings, crossroads and dinner dances without a break over the years. My friend Mary Kennedy of Ahanboy remembers two locations where there were concrete platforms at crossroads where the local people danced. At the present time sets are danced two or three times a week throughout the year and there has been a revival in house dances and kitchen dances. The set is very strong in the south Kerry area and keen set dancers can dance five nights in the week without travelling very far. The weekend is more than just a formal teaching workshop. There are sessions in the Bridge Bar, where singers and musicians as well as dancers can get together and enjoy the music. Here you will have a chance to see some of our older dancers who dance the local set in the lovely old graceful style of south Kerry. I have a friend Tom Kennedy who will dance a full set in collar, tie, gansey, jacket and cap without raising a sweat or breathing heavy! They have kept the tradition going and it's a rare gift they have handed down to us and our children. Where would the sets be without them? It is through some of these dancers that the Portmagee workshop had been able to revive three sets that would otherwise have been lost forever. In 1992 Muiris O'Brien, after doing thorough and painstaking research and probing the memories of several old people, revived the Valentia Right and Left Set, an elegant six figure set with lots of variety. Joe Lynch from Valentia Island was able to give Muiris all the details of the set he danced in his youth. I have often danced the Right and Left with Joe and a fine dancer he is. Muiris also revived the Portmagee Myserk, a lovely jig set, and he was telling me one night in the bar how persevered with the research to save this set, calling back several times to Joseph Falvey and working out the figures-at one stage using a walking cane as a partner! According to an old poem about a house dance the set must have been danced in the 1920s but had been lost. Patrick Joy in Killorglin was the only man who remembered the Caragh Lake Jig Set. A group of us went to Killorglin where Pat gave us all his experience and knowledge so Muiris was able to revive the set in 1993 at the Portmagee workshop. It is a great set danced to jigs, slide, reel and hornpipe. The workshop weekend always includes some great sessions-sometimes a set in the street beside the harbour overlooking Valentia Island. Goodbyes are said at last, addresses exchanged and the little village returns to normal. We sit down with a pot of tea and the talk begins-stories to tell of the weekend and plans for next year. The sign in the window promised set dancing at nine, but the small Bridge Pub was half empty. People knew better that to be prompt; there was time for a walk in the rain and a bag of chips. An hour later the place was stuffed with hot bodies in damp clothes and half a dozen musicians sat on benches, on three sides of a square, under the window near the door. Every eye was drawn towards the burning heart of the room, a briquette fire in the big brick hearth. The walls, floor and ceiling were close and dark; and in this musical grotto liquid gifts of black and white were handed out by smoky firelight. Guinness posters and St Patrick's Day streamers still hung from the ceiling, months after their time. The season was over and no one was a tourist. A straight-backed woman in her forties wore a purple velvet shawl and a white blouse with a lace collar. She had come for the dancing. The piper flexed his fingers and began to explore a tune. His elbow squeezed air from the bag and his eyes met those of an accordion player, who nodded and found a counter refrain. A guitarist, thin with a young face, picked up the rhythm, dampening the strings and cutting across them on the off-beat. An older man, stocky and red skinned with a white moustache and an intent look, let the stick in his hand trip across the skin of bodhran. Conversations were left unfinished as people turned in their seats to face the session. There was no room to move, and barely enough to stand. Men, women and children all watched and bobbed their heads in time, tapping a foot or drumming a glass with their fingers. Other musicians climbed aboard the tune as it passed: a second guitarist who had watched his friend's fingers on the fretboard; another piper; another bodhran. A signal passed through the crowd and eight dancers were on their feet. Part of the floor cleared. Each held a partner and they were off, turning tight patterns within small circles, bodies mad and free yet never colliding or stumbling into a space where they should not have been. They moved as an eight, into the circle and out, stamping their heels to accentuate the beat. It was ancient but vital, an impressive movement performed here and wherever there were Kerry people. The public, collective courtship could have been taking place on the hill of the Great Blasket, in the hull of a transatlantic steamer, or at a social club in Massachusetts. They might have been dancing to a wind-up gramophone, a one-string fiddle, or an amplified band. The dancers were a spectacle, but in another time the whole room might have been spinning and reeling. On our arrival the sun shone as if to cheer us all, and the tone of the weekend was set with a lively session in the Bridge Bar on the Friday evening. With musicians Paddy Casey and Daniel Lynch playing button accordions, Seamus Rahilly on keyboard, Michael Tubridy on flute and Liam Owens on tin whistle, the set dancers took to the floor. My husband and I, being totally uninitiated in the art of Irish set dance, were completely overawed by the lively and seemingly spontaneous dance patterns and we couldn't stop our feet tapping and hands clapping at the end of each figure. So it was with some trepidation that we approached our first set dance workshop. Gabriel and Helen, who by our standards are set dance 'veterans', having attended for the previous four years, assured us that we would soon 'get the hang of it'. We arrived at the Community Centre and were warmly welcomed by Betty McCoy who spoke movingly about Connie Ryan and his contribution to Irish set dancing. We then all sat back to enjoy watching the demonstration set, so much so that when the time came for the general dancing to start we protested, 'No, no, we'd much rather watch!' This however was not at all acceptable and we were firmly led onto the floor. Much to our surprise, within a few minutes under the watchful eye of Jim Barry, the workshop leader, we found ourselves being helped through our first set, the Aran set. We provided much laughter as we stumbled through the steps and I think Jim saw us as quite a challenge! However, we soon gained confidence and reckoned that if we ended up in the right place by the end of the music we'd done pretty well! Much appreciation goes to the 'saintly' Jim who managed with Betty's help to keep the whole room dancing and still find time to help us out on the more taxing steps. After a much needed lunchtime break at the Bridge Bar we tackled the afternoon session with renewed vigour and completed the Sliabh gCua, Ballyvourney Jig and Ballycommon - but we had so much fun and felt a shared sense of achievement with our new friends. After a delicious meal back at The Moorings there was a whole evening of entertainment to come in the Bridge Bar. In one part of it, we, as the singing group Harmonix, provided a selection of hits from the 60s to the 90s which seemed to go down well as a prelude to the traditional music which was to follow. Paddy, Seamus and company were in top form and the dancers swung into action. Many people contributed to the occasion by performing songs and playing traditional instruments. Celine Tubridy and Chris Gleeson delighted us all with their solo dances accompanied by Michael Tubridy. Another treat was to listen to Maire Begley, fresh from her show on Kerry Radio, singing and playing the piano accordion so beautifully then providing backing to other performers. There was a great atmosphere and the revels lasted into the wee small hours - what a day! The Sunday morning anniversary Mass in memory of Connie Ryan was a very moving occasion. There were special readings from Beryl Stracey and a brave Betty McCoy who read a poem written by one of Connie's many admirers. Maire Begley's singing was hauntingly beautiful and the final 'Lord of the Dance' was delightfully appropriate. The lunchtime session was very relaxed and spontaneous. Maire again transfixed us all with her traditional songs and I lost count of the number of people who joined in to play instruments - and again the dancers danced. This was a wonderful session which we could have stayed to enjoy all afternoon, but we had an appointment - the ceili! This was our opportunity to put into practice all we had learned at the workshop, or so we thought. Somehow all the sets seemed to merge into one, but thanks to our brilliant set partners, Chris and Eddie 'the Hip' Gleeson and with Jim Barry calling we had a great time and managed every figure. Betty McCoy was again on hand to help. The Riordans band played for us and kept things moving at a cracking pace. We ended the ceili feeling exhausted and on saying farewell to those who were leaving then we all promised to come back next year. The final session in the Bridge Bar was a wonderful evening, a potpourri of dancing, singing and entertainment - great craic! The bar was packed with folk of all aged, from 9 to 90 all sharing the enjoyment of music and dancing. That memory will stay with us all, I'm sure. Many thanks to Beryl, Julian, Gerard, Pat and their team for all their hard work. The whole weekend was a great success and it is a privilege for us to have met them all, and make no mistake, we will return. Plans are already being made for next year and we understand that some enthusiasts have already booked their rooms in readiness! Now I wonder if I can remember the Aran set ... ? As we travelled to South Kerry on Friday April 28th for the annual May Bank Holiday Set Dancing Workshop, the breathtaking view from the road over St Finan's Bay on the way to Portmagee was an indication of the pure enjoyment that would be ours for the weekend. On arrival we received the usual warm welcome from Ger and Pat Kennedy, proprietors of the Bridge Bar and the Moorings Restaurant. Straight to the bar for some refreshments - a little glass of wine and the 'freshest Mussels you have ever tasted' and the weekend in Portmagee was off to a great start. That evening, as people continued to arrive, the session started in the Bridge Bar to live music from local musicians Seamus and Paddy with sets being danced by locals and visitors mingling together. It's great to see the locals dancing their own sets, in this case it's the South Kerry and sometimes the Valentia Right and Left. With the quality of the session, no one was in a hurry to go to bed. Saturday morning Betty McCoy and Jim Barry got the workshop going with the Williamstown Set, a great choice to start with - the last figure is always great fun. Then they taught the Inis Oírr and in the afternoon we did the Tournafulla and the Borlin Jenny. I was first introduced to Portmagee and all its magic by Connie Ryan. It is just great to have the irrepressible Betty continuing Connie's workshop tradition of the right blend of fun, dancing and learning (in that order). The banter between Jim and Betty was great fun and they got a well earned warm ovation from the very appreciative attendees. It was justly deserved as there was a terrific atmosphere right throughout the day. Saturday night after a really wonderful gourmet meal prepared by Pat and her staff in the Moorings, all adjourned to the Bridge Bar for a feast of music song and dance, first with a music session and then more music and sets from Seamus and Paddy. At 11 o'clock all hands made the short walk to the local hall for a free two hour ceílí with music by Jerry McCarthy and the Muskerry Ceílí Band. Sunday, the craic started around 12 am with music, song and dance from Michael Tubridy, Ned O'Shea and friends which continued till the ceílí started in the hall around 3 pm, with music again by The Muskerry Ceílí Band. The evening meal in the Moorings once again was a masterpiece, following which music in a more modern idiom was provided in the Bridge Bar by Harmonix, (Gabriel, Helen, Chris and Alan from England) who like ourselves have been coming to Portmagee for several years now. And after that - yes, you guessed it - the session continued with more music and sets till, ah, late! The weekend is a great success for so many reasons - meeting friends old and new, almost continuous music and dancing, superb food and accommodation at very reasonable prices, the location is a delightful fishing village in the midst of some of the loveliest scenery in the world and not least the trojan organisational work done by Ger and Pat Kennedy and Beryl and Julian Stracey. Well done! Next year is the tenth anniversary, and in all honesty I just can't wait. I came into the bar looking forward to a night's set dancing. Somebody told me, "Joe Lynch the dancer is dead!" Joe was 87 years old. He died peacefully in bed in his own home on Valentia Island on Sunday 18th March. Joe was very much loved and respected in Valentia and Portmagee but he meant something very special to all who were interested in music and dancing. Joe was born in Tennis, Valentia Island, Kerry, in 1914. Like all the old dancers he learned the set in the home. It was John Shea who taught him the Valentia Right and Left in the house of Denis O'Neill. The Right and Left would always be danced in the hall on the island every Sunday night and Joe said it was last danced during the war years then for some reason it faded out. In 1989 Joe gave the set to Larry Lynch who published it in his wonderful book, Set Dances of Ireland. Larry would bring a crowd of dancers to the area most years and he would always meet up with Joe. In 1992 Muiris O'Brien, with Joe's help, revived the set at the Portmagee dance workshop. Since then it is danced regularly in south Kerry and beyond. A great treat for me was to dance across from Joe. And he was very particular about how we danced his set. I can see Joe in suit, gansey and cap, cool as a breeze, a long finger pointing the way in the cross over! It was a cold March day when we assembled in Chapeltown Church to say goodbye to Joe. Bernie Moran played lovely slow airs on the accordion and struck up a Kerry polka as we left the church. We stood outside talking of Joe. How he had been active and interested up until recently. Someone had seen him at a football match and I remembered him calling us over to the car at the Valentia Regatta. Annie Lynch said only recently he was talking about the style of the old dancers. Joe, you gave us the Valentia Right and Left and much much more. You will live on as long as we dance sets in South Kerry.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17256
__label__wiki	0.559844	0.559844	Film Walrus Reviews Review of Three Wishes for Cinderella Ignoring my own advice, I determined to find a holiday film that I could honestly endorse before the 25th came around. After some casting about, I decided to order a cult Czech film that I’d heard many good things about called “Three Wishes for Cinderella.” In some countries it is known as “Three Nuts for Cinderella,” a title which is surprisingly interchangeable (I’ll explain that later). “Three Wishes for Cinderella” (1973) serves roughly the same societal role for Europe as “It’s a Wonderful Life” does in the US. It’s a magical, feel-good fantasy that brings together the community and appeals to every generation. The film is a perennial classic in Germany and Switzerland. In the Czech Republic it is a national landmark; part of the cultural landscape. In Norway, the film is virtually a religion: public demand has decreed that the state television channel play it ritualistically every Christmas morning at the same time. In the US, nobody has any idea what you are talking about when you mention the film. Americans like to be left alone with Charlie Brown’s holiday foibles and claymated Rudolphs that look like nightmare Bozo-the-clown centaurs. [Image: Rudolph = Clown Centaur. I rest my case.] “Three Wishes for Cinderella” tells the classic Cinderella fairy tale without a hint of irony. Unlike the Disney animated feature from 1950, which reigns supreme over the American mindshare of the story, this Czech version has much more genuine, down-to-earth tone, a light, desaturated palette and a whimsical atmosphere. The dense, folksy mise-en-scene reminded me of a sweeter, child-friendlier “Alice” (1988), a Czech fantasy film that was probably influenced by this feature. [Image: Admitting I like this movie while displaying this DVD cover, may be the single most emasculating thing I’ve ever done. The version I bought, thankfully, was far less embarrassing.] Cinderella is played by Libuse Sanfrankova (I’ve omitted about seventeen accent marks so don’t even try to pronounce it) to great effect. She lives in a quaint village snugly tucked into a wintry forest near the local castle. Her stepmother and sister, jealous of her beauty, happiness and good-nature, try to saddle her with a life of drudgery. [Image: (Top) The maid, the step-sister and the step-mother. (Below) Cinderella being told to keep away from her horse; words she will disobey for nearly the entire film.] Their cruelest form of torture is to pour two types of seeds on the ground for Cinderella to separate. Tedious, and kind of random, but the poor maiden can always call on friendly doves to help. Since the film is live action it is kind of cool to see real birds being used, though I suspect they were eating a lot more seeds than they were collating. The town is in a flurry since the king (and his thoroughly eligible son) is due to pass through. Cinderella sneaks off with her trusty horse to frolic amongst the towering pines. She inevitably runs into the prince’s hunting party and saves a deer from his blood-sport. As bold and mischievous as a forest nymph, she leads the lads on a goose chase through the snow, at one point stealing their steeds and finally slipping away without giving her name. Word gets out that the King is hosting a ball for the prince to select a bride. Cinderella’s mother orders all sorts of fantastic fabrics for the favored filial relation, but the merchant who goes to fetch the goods promises to bring back a present for Cinderella, too. He forgets and falls asleep on the coach ride back. The prince comes upon him while bow hunting, and shoots a birds nest at just the right moment to drop it on the merchant’s head. The prank startles the man, but also pleases him. In the nest are hazelnuts that he gives to Cinderella. The three nuts are magical and grant wishes. I’m pretty sure this is mixing up Jack and the Beanstalk with Cinderella, but I’m not complaining because it saves us from suffering a fairy godmother character. Under the protective eye of a friendly owl, Cinderella transforms her hazelnuts into various outfits. It’s unclear whether she could have asked for anything she wanted (like a robo-dinosaur) , because in true ingénue fashion, she only desires pretty clothes. This must be some type of olden European thing (from before people dared dream of robo-dinosaurs), because it also happens in my favorite Charles Perrault fairy tale, Donkeyskin, which also has a fantastic film adaptation. She first asks for huntsmen gear so that she can best the prince in a test of archery. Later she transmutates a gauzy gown for the ball and, after the whole glass slipper rigmarole, she uses the final nut for a wedding dress. [Images: In one the funniest moments (to me), Cinderella’s horse shows up saddled and ready to take her to the ball. She is gleefully surprised, “Who saddled you!” The film cuts to her as she turns around and the camera zooms in on the owl. Um… no, cameraman, I don’t think it was the owl….] To some degree, the film plays like the wish-fulfillment fan fiction of a thirteen-year-old girl. There is a preponderance of horse-riding, dressing up in pretty clothes and showing up boys while remaining perfectly graceful and conspicuously pretty. Oh, and at the end she consents to marry the handsomest and most wealthy person in the land after he desperately combs the countryside for her. However, even fan fiction, if executed extremely well, can be quite enjoyably. Libuse Sanfrankova’s lead performance is one of the reasons the film works. Though twenty at the time, she looks no more than fifteen in the film. She possesses all the innocence, enthusiasm and ethics that a good fairy tale heroine needs, but demonstrates a competence in horsemanship, archery and climbing that modernize her into a girl-power emblem. [Image: Cinderella takes down a hawk, then when the prince pulls out the arrow and asks whose it is, she shoots it out of his hand. Take that, patriarchal tyranny!] The regal realities of feudal governance, class-based oppression, political intrigue and Haemophilia are not for Cinderella, but she does show such benevolence, initiative and tolerance for work that one could imagine her growing into a beloved leader. She is so in control of her destiny that I doubt she even needed the magic hazelnuts to win over the prince: in addition to her charming personality and impressive resume of Renaissance skills, she is also remarkably pretty. Amongst the many imdb testimonials of girls enchanted or inspired by the film are several male confessions of long-lasting crushes and even one slightly disturbing tale of a boy whose standard for beauty was set so high by Sanfrankova that it soured his later relationships. Director Václav Vorlíček is quite liberal with Perrault’s original telling, giving Cinderella far more agency. At one point, the prince tells her that he shall make her his bride. She responds by chiding him for not asking her how she feels about it and then playfully rejecting him despite his pleas. It’s nice to see the subtle feminist touches, especially compared to today’s gauche Hollywood appropriations like “Shrek,” where any positive message comes watered down with crudities and pop-culture references. Despite the praise being heaped on “Enchanted” (in theaters now), I can’t help think that Hollywood hasn’t yet learned its lesson, and I’m staying away for the time being. A surprising place where “Three Wishes for Cinderella” succeeds is in the immaculate cinematography, not usually of much interest in family fare. The whole thing is lens in a glittery soft-focus that makes the light seem to hang in the air. The snow-covered, unspoiled woodlands (somewhere in the Bohemian Forest) is put to good use filtering in the dappled sunlight and reflecting it ambiently off the snow-covered hillocks. The film looks a little low-budget and dated from a modern perspective, but the lack of CG, shine and crispness give it a homely, earthy charm. The sets are not highly dressed, but the richness of texture from the wood grains, muddy slush and festive costumes makes the suspension of disbelief a pleasurable task. [Image: This costume was my favorite. I imagine that it is capable of independent flight and reminds me of outfits in Babylon 5.] If someone had described the soundtrack to me in advance, I would have sworn I was going to hate it, but it comes together well. The tracks are light modern takes on Renaissance era music with a lot of airy, elegant instruments (flute I could recognize for sure). It creates a pleasantly nostalgic feel, usually devoid of the sappy vocals that mar the final number. One can also detect the brief tinkle of bells at key moments, quite possibly a reference to the sound effect used for the magic earrings in “Valerie and Her Week of Wonders.” So, for anyone who found my scrooge-like ranting about holiday films to be a cop out, now they have something to watch for the Christmas season. It has just the right levels of escapist appeal and positive underlying values to ensure warm fuzzy feelings for families and young-uns. Plus, you can finally see what all those Czechs and Norwegians are talking about. Walrus Rating: 7.0 (I’ve taken 0.5 off to compensate for my Czech bias) [Image: Cinderella earning her name at the fireplace.] Posted by FilmWalrus at 11:59 AM 17 comments: Labels: 1970s, Czech Republic, Fantasy, Personal Life, Review, Screenshots and Images Review of The Lovers on the Bridge Leos Carax (a cooler anagram of his birth name Alex Oscar) is a bit of a punk. He’s a director who often bares the complexities, innovations and depths of Godard, but also flashes the facile decadences of a self-absorbed pop-culture addict. Somehow Godard’s overt artistic and political agenda have [deservingly] made him an international icon, while Carax remains relatively unknown outside of France, despite updating Godard’s youth culture energy and savvy experimentation for a generation bound to the 1980’s. Some critics have also noted this kinship while other reviewers have, instead, tended to group Carax with Luc Besson and Jean-Jacques Beineix as a purely-kinetic hipster, tacitly accusing him of asking his audience look, but not to think or feel. I disagree with the latter. I don’t know how I found out about it, but I watched Carax’s “Mauvais Sang” (“Bad Blood,” 1987) several years ago. I’d read that the vaguely futuristic plot involved an epidemic STD that proves fatal to anyone who has sex without loving there partner, but I really didn’t know what to expect. It sounded like there was plenty of potential for silliness and kitsch. What I was not expecting was Piet Mondrian-esque rectilinear primary-color experiments or impenetrable poetic ruminations where dialogue usual sits or a story so loose and obscure that the plot I’d read about seemed like an explanation or interpretation rather than an actual description. I wasn’t sure, but I came to a tentative conclusion that I liked it. I doubt I understand it properly. Someday, I’d like to see it all again. I’m beginning to suspect that the only way to prepare for seeing a Carax film is to see other Carax films. In that spirit, I sat down to watch his most well-known film, “The Lovers on the Bridge” (1991). The film is a tortured romance between two homeless people living on the Parisian Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, whose name translates ironically as “New Bridge.” Alex (Denis Lavant) is an acrobatic fire-eater who downs alcohol and sedatives with alarming vigor while Michele (Juliette Binoche) is a riches-to-rags artist who has pounded the pavement since discovering that a rare eye disease will rob her of her career. [Image: As a clever self-referential touch, Juliette Binoche, who plays an artist, painted the movie’s poster,] They meet when Michele is on her way to the beach and drops her painting supplies. Their hands briefly touch as they reach for the same paintbrush. Just kidding. Michele witnesses Alex passing out in the street and getting run over. When he returns from the hospital, he finds Michele huddled on his trash-strewn bench on the closed-for-repairs bridge. While the film is initially pretty inaccessible, the audience is gradually warmed to the Alex and Michele characters. Lavant and Binoche were already Carax alums (from “Bad Blood”) by the time of this film, and they (get ready for a tongue twister) directly synchronize with the director’s idiosyncrasies. Binoche gives up her usual otherworldly beauty for a more befittingly ruffled hobo look while Lavant dives into his shambling vagrant with a high-strung passion and typical compact roguishness. They are both a bit erratic and uneven and they should be. Carax wisely eschews over-glamorizing the freedom-of-the-street and keeps his characters in an unpredictable and not always sympathetic limbo. Like “Bad Blood,” the film is conspicuously sparse on characters, channeling our attention and eventually a deep emotional intimacy into the two leads. Carax goes to some extreme lengths to keep us in his depopulated vision of Paris: we see only the back of the passenger’s head when Alex is run over, a nightclub is represented only by the dancing feet visible from outside, a brief scene with a policeman shows the officer asleep, etc. The only other characters whose presence is made explicit are the homeless and jobless transients. They include the only other multi-line speaking part, Hans, a former guard who still has the keys from his old posts (real keys, not symbolic ones like in EVERY OTHER MOVIE EVER. Sorry.). The way Carax inverts the usual view of Paris denizens is refreshing and provocative in itself, letting the “productive members of society” fade away and bringing the marginalized into focus. When critics speak of Leos Carax’s work they’re quick to note his excess. “The Lovers on the Bridge” attracted particular attention for its financial surplus: the 8.5 million franc budget blossomed into 70+ million over a rocky three-year production, due largely to Carax’s unwillingness to compromise and his resolve to build a full scale replica of the Pont Neuf. I, too, tend to bandy about the word ‘excess’ quite a bit on the Film Walrus, but I think critics use it misleadingly in this context. To call “The Lovers on the Bridge” an exercise in visual excess is to let a couple of dizzyingly transcendent scenes overshadow a movie which is dominated by an intentionally modest mise-en-scene and static set. Almost all the action takes place on the single bridge, a lonely hulk of masonry undergoing reconstruction. Yet almost all the reviews focus unduly on a nighttime scene where Alex and Michele run through the falling sparks of bicentennial fireworks and water-ski down the sparkling Seine on a stolen motorboat. This interlude shows the fleeting kernel of ecstasy that drives the characters and allows them to experience soaring joy even as they burn up in the atmosphere. It’s not misguidedly unqualified propaganda for the freedom of having no property or responsibilities so much as a physical manifestation of the illusive fulfillment achieved by Alex and Michele’s love. It feels like an enchanting trance and unfolds like a preposterous dream. In fact, I think it serves roughly the equivalent purpose as a dream sequence and shouldn’t be treated as though it pushes the entire film into fantasy. For the most part, the film has a certain grittiness, a sense of destitution and desperation that occasionally bursts from below the surface. Carax’s camerawork could lend a visual excessiveness to even this crumbled, quiet atmosphere, but he shows due restraint when necessary. Like everything else in the film, the cinematography is deeply interwoven into the characters and remains pinned to their activities and their perspectives. As a consequence, the camera cuts, spins, pans and even takes a virtuoso van-ride during their moments of heightened intensity (such a gallop through a subway, Alex’s delirious fire-spewing performance and his jealous anxiety when faced with the possibility of losing Michele), but it also matches their quiet moments: the sleep, the boredom and the tedious routine of day-to-day survival. Carax knows when to leave the camera in place and let a shot run long, demonstrating a confidence and discernment not shared by some of his hipster contemporaries. Yet the film does indulge in excess, which will either endear or alienate the viewer depending on their taste. The excess is really an emotional one, characterized not so much by external melodrama as the feverish extremes with which Alex and Michele internally register their ups and downs. They can make love look downright painful, turn insomnia into opportunity and extend melancholy into misery into self-mutilation. In retrospect, the difficult opening scenes of Alex staggering through the street can be read as more than just the drunken culmination of addiction. It’s like the emotional equivalent of a seizure by someone prone to emotional intensity, but without the maturity and stability to cope. Carax never uses emotional excess to undermine the complexities of his character with broad melodramatic strokes. He even pokes holes in the oft-used device of transcendent love, arguably the central theme, by showing Alex’s selfishness; his gluttony for love. In the final third of the film he often acts inexcusably malicious to preserve his relationship with Michele, even going so far as to tricking her into losing her money and preventing her from getting an eye operation that could restore her ambitions. Many directors would be too afraid of losing audience sympathy to go that far. Carax definitely wants his film to be felt and not just viewed, and that’s why the mood is so thick and the emotions so taut. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it terribly manipulative, but there’s no question that Carax is willing use the tools of the trade to make an impression. The sophisticated soundtrack, featuring David Bowie, Arvo Part and French pop, plays a large part in shaping that impression. The eclectic tone switches from choral to synth and from pop to minimalism to capture the essence of each scene. “The Lovers on the Bridge” is a film that rewards emotional investment as much as visual analysis and it does so in an intellectually informed and film-history aware manner. In my mind, this should make the film interesting for any number of daring viewers, but it didn’t manage to get in front of very many eyes that didn’t belong to film critics. The initial financial failure may be the result of marketing that played up the stylish romantic youth-culture angle and forgot to mention the poverty, anguish, depth and formalism. It’s a difficult mélange to sell to a mass audience. Walrus Rating: 8.0 Posted by FilmWalrus at 4:17 PM 1 comment: Labels: 1980s, Art House, France, Review, Screenshots and Images Hall of Strangeness Part XXIII Primer – (Shane Carruth) A masterpiece of low-budget digital filmmaking, Primer uses a combination of mind-bending science fiction and elaborate paranoid interrelations to stretch their budget-to-quality ratio to the limit. Aaron and Abe are two friends who just may have invented a time-machine, but using the device may tear their friendship, and the world, apart. Though the film starts out in familiar time-travel territory, the inherit complexities of the fourth dimension take their toll on the protagonists and make shake loose casual viewers. Artistry: Fun: Strangeness: Prospero’s Books – (Peter Greenaway) This insanely freestyle experimental adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest is probably the most visually radical, but least enjoyable, of Greenaway’s work. Organized around Prospero’s library of magical books that cover all the world’s knowledge, the audience is subjected to busy arrangements of performance art, dramatic sets, outrageous costumes and digital effects in lieu of straightforward narrative delivery. Artistry: **** Fun: * Strangeness: *** Ridicule – (Patrice Leconte) In the royal courts of 18th century France, wit was king (but also Louis XVI) and pithy banter was a treasured backdoor to political power. A well-meaning baron out to save his farming community must enter into the brutal arena of wordplay where careers can be made or unmade by a single devastating turn of phrase. Crisply shot and snappily penned, Ridicule is a period piece with a unique edge. Also there are mountainous wigs. Artistry: Fun: Strangeness: River’s Edge – (Tim Hunter) A high school student apathetically kills his girlfriend and takes his classmates to see the body in this dark satire of the slacker generation based on a true story. Their reactions include zombie-like indifference, militant support and vague attempts at the shock and outrage they know they should be feeling. With biting, effective wit, Hunter captures the aimless drifting of the sex-drugs-and-violence immunized generation raised on TV and weed. Artistry: ** Fun: ** Strangeness: * Robot Monster – (Phil Tucker) Possibly the lowest production values of all time mark Robot Monster as a classic of 1950’s C-movie sci-fi. Ro-Man (a robot represented by a man in scuba gear and a gorilla suit borrowed from another film) has managed to exterminate all life on earth except for a benevolent scientist (insert atrocious Russian accent), his family and assistant. When Ro-man experiences his first disorientating notions of love (and lust) after sighting the scientist’s daughter, he questions whether his mantra to “correlate, deduce, reduce error” is really the pinnacle of civilization. Features wooden computer monitors, inexplicable dinosaur stock footage, intergalactic radios that spout soap bubbles and more photo-negative flashes than you can shake a death-ray at. Artistry: * Fun: *** Strangeness: Posted by FilmWalrus at 10:56 PM 2 comments: Labels: Hall of Strangeness Ramble/Rant on Holiday Movies [Image: Oh, you wish I was writing a review of "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians."] When it isn’t annoying me to the verge or death or eroding the intelligence, patience and morality of our nation, it can be fun to watch marketing at work. I can sit back with the comfy distance of a cynically removed outsider and laugh at the gimmicks, cheap tricks, total lies and unscrupulous barrel-scraping that makes the Hollywood marketing juggernaut continue jugging. Today I’m going to rant about a couple of movie marketing techniques that all coalesce around Christmas and I’ll finish with a surprise(!) review. Sometimes I see movie trailers so bad that they accomplish the opposite of the presumed goal: they stick out so dramatically in my mind because of their badness that I won’t ever end up seeing the movie even by accident. If a friend asks me if I might want to go see “This Christmas” with them, I won’t even lazily agree out of ignorance. I’ll be able to say no without hesitation and not only do I save two hours, eight dollars and a great deal of happiness, but I’ll have one less friend for whom to buy a Christmas present. That’s because a friend who invites you to see movies cashing in on holidays isn’t really a friend at all. My reaction to holiday movies tends to be similar to how I treat highway billboards for rural tourist traps. I’m a little amused, I avoid them out of habit and then I promptly forget about the entire thing. Occasionally I ponder the type of person who would drive even two miles out of their way to see The World’s Grayest Clay or The Museum of Mutated Jackrabbits. I’m just hoping that the type of person who pays to see “Jingle All the Way” or “Jack Frost” does so out of a sick curiosity for how bad it can get. [Image: The World’s Largest Chainsaw… Sign] Why else would consumers (or producers) invest time and money in a movie they would never otherwise even consider, just because it’s themed to the current season? It won’t be better than the usual muck. In fact, experience should have taught us all that it will be worse. And yet… somehow it works, terrible films make a profit, and three year later the same films which by all rights shouldn’t even be allowed in Blockbuster’s “Used: Buy four and get them all for free” bin, are resurrected for seasonal television play. Somehow a seasonal theme manages to ensure some minimal return on investment, like casting Will Farrell, adapting a 50’s TV show or featuring a preponderance of bikinis in the previews, posters and box-art. These parasitic holiday-spawn eke out an undeserved profit by feeding upon the innate happiness associated with holidays and taking advantage of the fact that we have the day off anyway, so we might as well watch something (and there aren’t any car-crashes nearby). I don’t like holiday movies. That may be obvious by this point. This goes a long way towards explaining why I put off seeing “It’s a Wonderful Life” until just a few weeks ago. It was the last film on AFI’s 100 Greatest Movies that I had not seen and I’m sure that in some marketing consultant’s computer somewhere a little “cultural penetration” widget clicked over from 99.9999% to 100%. As for a review, I’m not even going to bother. It’s not that I thought the film was particularly bad, but I wasn’t that impressed either. Why do my usual spiel when I don’t have any potential audience of people to guide or inform (they’ve all seen it), something new to say about it or any cute personal anecdote about how the film drew me back from depression or made me change my job to the subprime real-estate lending market (which, let’s face it, is exactly what George Bailey does and look at where that got us 60 years after the goodwill and holiday cheer settled). One nice thing about “It’s a Wondeful Life” is that it managed to totally, albeit accidentally, subvert the Hollywood marketing machine. It was a minor failure on its initial release and the copyrights lapsed back in the 1970’s. When it became a certified Christmas Classic in the 1980’s, the opportunities for traditional profit had already come and gone. TV screenings still brought in ad money and third-tier distributors can make a dime by packaging it as a two-for-one best-of-Jimmy-Stewart DVD with “The Gorgeous Hussy” (1936), but basically the big money slipped through their fingers. The only one who collects any royalties is the guy who wrote the original story. A writer getting revenue! That’s almost as ridiculous as paying musicians for their music! Incidentally, the original script was written as a Christmas card, a medium that was probably better suited to the material. Then again, I always tend to prefer the card to the movie. But I said I wasn’t going to get into reviewing the movie and I mean it! I’m going to review something related, which fits more with the Film Walrus’s obscurity angle. No, it’s not “Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wondeful Life” (1993), a brilliant short film that upturns Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” by combining it with “The Metamorphosis,” but yes, you should check that out, too. Instead, I’m going to dig into another marketing technique that frequently draws critical ire: the game adaptation. Certainly, no action movie can storm the theaters without the inevitable PS3 version that outsells the film despite shipping without collision detection, the second and fifth levels, and the original voice-actors (they blew through the budget just licensing the blocky celebrity likenesses and ended up out-sourced the dialog to Bengal). These days I’m not surprised to walk into Best Buy and see “My Dinner with Andre” conversation-sims, Wes Anderson® franchise dysfunctional-family-themed RPGs and titles like “Bloodrayne: The Movie: The Game.” You mean there’s actually an “It’s a Wonderful Life” videogame? Well, no, not exactly. Someone, somewhere thought they could generate actual currency (not just Monopoly currency) with an “It’s a Wonderful Life” board game. You can check out its profile on BoardgameGeek.com, the board game equivalent of IMDB (actually, it’s far superior), where it has received, to date, 5 votes. Because we share the same sense of humor, my girlfriend bought this for me at a Goodwill. What follows is my review of “It’s a Wonderful Life: The Game Based on America’s Best Loved Movie.” The game is played by moving your game piece around a circular board and answering “It’s a Wonderful Life” themed trivia questions to collect cards. The cards are mostly “friends” with the name and picture of some minor character from the movie (with the understandable exception of Mr. Potter). Two of the cards are $8,000 cards. You must collect five friends and an $8,000 card to win. Excited? The game board only contains twelve spaces, so expect to do a lot of circling and landing in the same places. The various locations on the board involve events like answering a question, stealing a card or drawing any card you want from the deck. That last option might sound pretty cool, but consider that every card in the game (except for the two $8,000 cards) behaves in exactly the same manner. For some inexplicable reason, every space on the board also has a picture of a character and a name (unrelated to the action or event for that space), recycled verbatim from the friend cards. In fact, there is quite a bit of recycling since each friend card has about ten copies. Thus you can win the game by collecting $8,000 and five Clarences. [Image: A winning hand, Zuzus over Mr. Gowers.] The theme of careless mass production is further developed by the game pieces. Every player’s avatar (up to six!) uses an identical image of George Bailey laughing manically. Katie and I found out the hard way how incredibly confusing this makes it to tell which piece to move. [Image: Every player is George Bailey. Is it a play on his everyman status? A metaphor for the infectious universality of his plight? A dark hint at the fragmented personalities brought on by his despair and depression? Or perhaps it’s a deeper investigation of the film’s premise that a parallel reality is accessible where George Bailey “had never been born,” thus leading any speculative mind to assume that an infinite number of realities must exist where he was born. Hmm… probably just cheap design.] The gameplay is tedious and derivative. Even hardcore fans of the film are likely to be unmoved by the mostly finish-the-quote questions. I actually watched the making of “It’s a Wonderful Life” after Katie had gone to sleep, in the hope that it would give me a competitive edge. Nope. The game’s concept of trivia doesn’t include things like facts and, uh, trivia. You mostly finish-the-quote or regurgitate character names and minor props. [Image: For those of you who are too lazy or too smart to zoom in this picture for details, the yellow spikey-stamp says, “Includes Over 280 Trivia Questions!” As an exercise for the reader, can you guess, within five, the exact number of trivia questions included?] I was hoping for some questions that were absolutely outrageously bad, but mostly they are just pointless and lame. I have some trivia questions of my own, which somehow didn’t make it into the game. Now you can test your “It’s a Wonderful Life” know-how without paying $1.21 at Goodwill! Just try this quiz: [Warning: Spoilers, but then, there are probably several more important reasons not to play a trivia game based on a movie if you haven’t seen the movie.] 1) What is America’s Best Loved Movie? a. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) b. Hudson Hawk (1991) c. Flubber (1997) d. La Dama Rossa Uccide Sette Volte (1972) 2) What is your favorite part of “It’s a Wonderful Life”? a. The ending, when Bailey realizes how many friends he has. b. The ending, when Bailey gets the $8,000 he needs to save his business. c. The ending, when Clarence the angel gets his wings. 3) In what movie does James Stewart play George Bailey, a man who realizes that his life has not been wasted when his friends and family clamber to his aid on Christmas day? a. Anatomy of a Murder (1959) b. The Naked Spur (1953) c. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) d. The Gorgeous Hussy (1936) How did you do? Tally up your correct answers (they were in bold if you didn’t figure that out) and check out your dating diagnosis below: 0-1: You’re a natural stupidhead who prefers watching merely spectacular movies like “Flubber” and “Hudson Hawk” to the greatest film of all time. Men sometimes mistake your pitiful unawareness of “It’s a Wonderful Life” minutiae for ditziness, so you tend to attract only jerks who take advantage of you. Fear not, you can take command of your situation by watching the film twice weekly. 2: Though you’ve seen the film a couple of times, you're not sure of all the details and you are prone to confusing the names of the minor characters. You find it difficult to form lasting relationships with men, because you’re insecure about the real extent of your “It’s a Wonderful Life” knowledgebase. Stop trying to put up a façade of trivia smarts and study up by watching the film twice weekly. 3 or more: When it comes to “It’s a Wonderful Life” you’re all that and a bag of chips. Your friends often come to you with questions about the movie and you pride yourself on your ability to answer their queries. Men find your encyclopedic “It’s a Wonderful Life” knowledge intimidating, but ease them into your habit by cuddling next to a warm fireplace and watching it twice weekly. Oh, and did I mention that you have to assemble the dice yourself. Seriously!

I suppose it’s just in time to be a warm-up for an end-of-the-year summary of what I liked and didn’t, but that will include more films and no shorts or retrospectives. This list doesn’t necessarily order the films by the numerical scores I’ve been tossing around the last few weeks. I tend to update my opinions with all new hindsight whenever I make a new list. Mild inconsistency is a sign of personal growth. What’s that you say? You don’t believe in ranking totally unrelated movies against each other! Too bad. Meaningless it may be, but I still enjoy it. Besides, I’ve put in a system of tiers to break the list into useful groups. “Highly Recommended” films were real hits with me and I would revisit them again. “Recommended” means that the films were good, but not spectacular and probably don’t require hunting down by casual viewers. “Not Recommended” films aren’t necessarily bad (though some are), they just don’t live up my own fluctuating cost/time-benefit analyses. Of course, let me throw out the usual disclaimer that every critic feels obligated to scribble into the fine print (where it can be promptly ignored by every sensible busy person): The in-depth, individual reviews should guide your time and cash, not the cold, unfeeling lists and numbers and letter grades and percentages and aggregates and dog-bone pictographs. That said, you’re now free to go and watch only the films under “highly recommended” and then complain that you didn’t like them because they weren’t wacky romantic comedies about Jessica Alba falling in love with an exploding zamboni. --Highly Recommended-- 1) Juno 2) The Memory Thief 3) Jamie Travis Shorts (Shorts, Retrospective) 4) Persepolis 5) Getting Home 6) Ploy 7) Darius Goes West (Documentary) --Recommended-- 8) Emma’s Bliss 9) American Fork 10) Fine Dead Girls 11) Honeydipper 12) Beauty in Trouble 13) Big Dreams, Little Tokyo 14) The Collector 15) Waiter --Not Recommended-- 16) Rainbow Song 17) Hear and Now (Documentary) 18) Animated Shorts B (Shorts) 19) The Method 20) The Walker 21) Crossroads (Retrospective) 22) Fresh Air 23) The Sacred Family 24) No Regret Labels: 2000s, Lists and Rankings, St Louis Film Scene SLIFF 2007 Coverage Part 6 Only about a month late, but this wraps them up! St. Louis International Film Festival 2007 reviews for Nov. 17-18: Title: Persepolis Director: Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi “Persepolis” was probably my most anticipated film from this year’s fest, considering that it had great Cannes buzz (it won the Jury prize), Iranian graphic novel roots, Catherine Deneuve voice-acting and black-and-white animation (of which I’m apparently one of very few fans). A local comic book store, Star Clipper, helped promote it, leading to a packed theater and a slightly younger crowd than the other films. The film is an autobiography of Marjane Satrapi, an upper-middle class girl growing up in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. Her experience with education, dating, music and politics is colored by the volatile backdrop, including the Islamic Revolution and Iran-Iraq war. Well-educated and independent, Marjane must decide between staying close to her family and homeland or leaving for freedom and security. The choice is not anywhere near as easy as it would seem. Several trips abroad only shift the attention from national conflicts to personal troubles like loneliness, depression, racism, identity-loss and poverty. Traditionally, rambling war-torn coming-of-age stories are not really my cup of tea, but “Persepolis” has more to offer than most. The animation is merely the most obvious curveball, but it certainly helps lend a coat of polish to the material. The color scheme is primarily B&W, with some blue mixed in (the present-day framing material is in full color). It walks an interesting line between a cartoon look (large blocks of solid tone) and pen-and-ink detail. The look doesn’t try to be particularly exotic, instead it has the clean-cut edges and formal balance I associate with abstract modernism. The medium is rarely used to break with reality, although the transition cuts are often quite clever and a couple loose history lessons are given where the character are intentionally moved like jerky marionettes. I think Satrapi was smart to keep the action fairly grounded, because it allows the audience to feel secure in the emotional sincerity. Marjane Satrapi easily shoulders the central focus. It may be unfair for me to say, but I think the story benefits from her gender since it frees the film from what have gradually become clichés of the male, coming-of-age cycle. It also helps that her experiences have been so atypical, although her reactions, her choices and her dreams feel quite natural. The non-fiction source means that there is nothing symbolic, forced or structurally contrived (like a neat, happy ending or a steady progression). The dialogue sounds like things people might actually say, without being boring or deadpan; Satrapi has a talent for bringing out the humor and wisdom in her remembrances. I found to “Persepolis” to be a solid, well-rounded movie that is likely to have very wide appeal. It has human interest, topical political issues and a strong visual style. I particularly liked the marionette sequences, a hilarious “Eye of the Tiger” training montage and the perfectly handled close-calls, that have just the right levels of tension and relief without too much tasteless audience manipulation. Title: The Walker Director: Paul Schrader I couldn’t help being disappointed with “The Walker,” a slow-burning political thriller starring Woody Harrelson as a D.C. female escort cavorting with the rich and influential. Perhaps I was expecting more from Schrader, who was easily one of the biggest names in the festival. There was also something lacking in the conspicuously famous cast (Harrelson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lauren Bacall, Lily Tomlin, Willem Defoe, Moritz Bleibtreu), all doing their best to seem infinitely cultured, effete and cagey. Harrelson is Carter Page the Third, a name previously worn by a plantation owner and a prominent, well-liked politician. #3 is somewhat of a disappointment to, apparently, every other person in the film. Page squanders his good-breeding by being a professionally homosexual female companion who provides gossip, fashion advice and a fourth for Bridge. He’s quite satisfied with his well-funded lifestyle until the illicit partner of one of his highly-ranked clients is murdered. Page winds up taking the wrap and going on the offensive, trying not to get buried along with the truth. Harrelson is surprisingly good in the serious and often demanding role, though he spends far too much time on his meticulous Southern drawl. He does it well, but half an hour in I was wishing he would drop the faux refinement. The whole cast suffers from essentially the same problem, when they’re not pretending to possess some earth-shaking secret (most of them are actually just as clueless as the protagonist). The level of hype the film creates around the presumed conspiracy is totally disproportionate with the somewhat mundane and noncommittal revelation of the truth. The shaky ambiguity doesn’t cover up for the writer’s poor plotting and half-baked villain. One particularly bad moment involves a CEO personally sabotaging Page’s car. Why didn’t he send a henchman? Where did he learn henchmen skills like car sabotagery and assassination? Schrader makes up for the otherwise meh script with his dialogue, which is really what he cares about anyway.Far, far too much time is spent regurgitating Schrader’s pet theme of flawed men living in their father’s shadow, but that’s really the worst of it. On the up side, there are lots of memorably articulate, cynical quotes about the political system, paranoia and power. The killer lines are timed to coincide with Schrader’s best shots, visual counterparts to the ubiquitous, ominous insinuations. The art direction features a color-coordinated veneer of civility, set off by satin, brass and ornate wood. It’s a little overdone, as is the flipside: Page’s gay bars and his boyfriend’s painfully “shocking” art loft. Overall, this film is probably best left to the hardcore political thriller junkies. There is too little payoff, either in rousing surprises or artistic standouts, for the casual fans. Title: Fine Dead Girls Director: Dalibor Matanic Country: Croatia A pair of unassuming lesbians moves into a new apartment building and finds themselves harassed by their disparate, self-righteous neighbors (especially the nosey landlady) in this dark Croatian message film. The social critique comes from the way the tenants turn up the heat on Iva and Marija merely because they have a same-sex relationship, when each of the victimizers has secrets of their own. Sharing the same roof are such other outsiders as a jingoistic foreigner, a man who looks after his dead wife, a mentally challenged boy, a prostitute and an abortionist. “Fine Dead Girls” works much like “Delicatessen,” taking a group of quirky eccentrics and forcing them to interact uncomfortably in cramped quarters. “Fine Dead Girls” is noticeably less outrageous, but substantially more barbed in its indictment of people’s petty prejudices. Though the building isn’t haunted, much of the film feels like a horror movie because of the constant confinement, rising intensity and the inescapable approach of a deadly breaking point. Sadly, the film also shares that genre’s somewhat throwaway character typing, but at least here they serve double-purpose as symbols of Croatia’s marginalized populations. Alone, their personalities would be too single-stroke to be actually interesting, but their interplay in nonetheless the riveting. The central story has a nice tragic arc, but it helps that there are plenty of subplots, often merely glimpses into the lives of the lesser tenants. In particular, the film opens with the arrival of a mysterious priest who makes a deal with the prostitute as part of his own secret agenda and the film ends with a kidnap-plot epilogue. The god’s-eye-view overhead camerawork, emphasizes the smallness of the squabbling tenants. In fact, much of the tone and atmosphere comes from the thoughtful camera placement, helping to offset the general low-budget, no-frills feel. One of the director’s strengths is an ability to skirt around the constraints, using the single location to great effect. Posted by FilmWalrus at 1:10 AM 2 comments: Labels: 2000s, Anime/Animation, Art House, Croatia, Female Director, Iran, Review, St Louis Film Scene, USA Hall of Strangeness Part XXII Pillowbook – (Peter Greenaway) Nagiko is a petulant Japanese model who only takes lovers that are adept at painting calligraphy onto her naked body, a ritual that extends back to her childhood birthdays. When the chance comes to exact revenge on the homosexual publisher who blackmailed her father, she takes the opportunity to send him 13 “books,” all written in exquisite detail upon the flesh of naked men. Each text has it’s own twist culminating in a deadly dénouement. Uses digital paintboxing, a multiple-image technique pioneered by Greenaway. Artistry: ** Fun: * Strangeness: *** Pistol Opera – (Seijun Suzuki) In 2001, Seijun Suzuki remade his classic Branded to Kill with a female lead, a ridiculously flamboyant color scheme and several degrees of magnitude more weirdness. A series of unhinged duels between pseudo-supernatural foes are expressed in splatters of post-modern imagery during the struggle for the illusory rank of the number one assassin. It plays out like an interpretive dance gun battle designed by John Woo and Andy Warhol. Artistry: Fun: Strangeness: *** Point Blank – (John Boorman) Point Blank, an icy cold tale of soulless revenge, is the birthplace of mainstream cinema’s affair with existential violence. Lee Marvin plays Walker, a gangster who rendezvous at Alcatraz to split the spoils of a heist with his partner, Mal. Mal callously executes Walker for his $93,000 cut and proceeds to build up a cozy criminal empire over the next several years. Inexplicably back from the grave, Walker returns to collect the original sum he was due, no longer burdened by emotions or fears but plagued by experimentally intercut flashes from his past. Artistry: * Fun: Strangeness: The Pornographers – (Shohei Imamura) This Japanese social satire from the 1960’s finds comedy and pathos in the most abhorrent cesspools of humanity. Subu is a barber and part-time pornographer who is having trouble with his dysfunctional family, his finances, the local crime syndicate, a reincarnating fish and his own personal sexual crises. A well-crafted, nihilistic exploration of society’s underbelly that makes you smile as much as squirm. Artistry: *** Fun: * Strangeness: ** Possession – (Andrzej Zulawski) Simular to the twisted offspring likely to result from a West German honeymoon between Argento and Cronenberg, Possession is the relentless tale of a tattered marriage and its disturbing fallout. Isabella Adjani plays a manic-depressive woman who leaves her husband (Sam Niell) and eccentric lover for an alarming relationship with an unusual alternative. Adjani gives one of the world’s most intense and most gutsy performances (surpassing Nicholson’s in “The Shining”) in a film whose entire cast has very little use for sanity. Artistry: Fun: Strangeness: *** St. Louis International Film Festival 2007 reviews for Nov. 16: Title: Beauty in Trouble Director: Jan Hrebejk “Beauty in Trouble” takes place in the post-flood Czech Republic where a displaced working-class family tries to survive, not so much the consequences of natural disaster, as the stress-fatigued nuances of family interaction. Marcela (Anna Geislerová) is the titular beauty in trouble, a woman contending with two children (one asthmatic), a husband who has turned to crime, a crumbling make-shift home and a sinister, petty step-father. After Marcela’s husband is jailed for grand theft auto, she meets Josef, the rich victim of the crime. Their rapidly budding relationship is complicated, not the least by the outside impression of gold-digging: Josef is wealthy and older, Marcela is beautiful and younger. Both have unrelated obstacles to fray their nerves, Marcela with her parents and Josef with a real-estate hustler. There isn’t a lot of fanfare or thrills, but the film does communicate the need for patience, endurance and an underlying zeal for life in an even and understated manner. Like other meandering, interpersonal dramas where camerawork is strictly utilitarian for 95% of the film, this movie lives and dies on the strength of the performances and script. I’ll say foremost that both are quite good, though not memorable. To its credit, the film doesn’t plead or fuss for awards with extreme histrionics, ironic twists of tragedy or shocking personal revelations. Marcela is a sympathetic character whose appeal comes from her inner confidence and practical survival skills. She’s also got sex appeal on her side, the type that benefits from looks, but really soars because of her brash individualism and uninhibited sensuality. Think “Erin Brockovich” without all the sensationalism and ideological pandering. You won’t feel like the writers and producers are screaming “THIS IS EMPOWERMENT” in your ear; you’ll just feel that she is real and strong-willed. The rest of the cast is just as talented, especially considering that they have to develop equally in-depth characters in far less screen-time. Generally they succeed. Jirí Schmitzer, in particular, is masterly as Marcela’s “Uncle” Richie, a selfish, petulant codger who manages to be cruel and perverted and yet so totally, instantly recognizable as true to life, that he outdoes every Bond villain at incurring audience ire. He’s mean in the way that drives you crazy in a thousand little ways without ever physically harming anyone (though he comes close at least once). Unfortunately, nothing about “Beauty in Trouble” can really help distinguish it from the pack and even I’m having trouble pitching it convincingly. The back of the DVD will probably play up the passionate sex scenes, the exotic locale with rustic local flavor, the brave determination of the lead and so on, but all that really cheats the film of its true success: creating convincing drama that rings true to life. Title: Emma’s Bliss Director: Sven Taddicken How do you make a romantic comedy that still feels fresh? For starters, you can stop treating Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant as characters types that somehow represent all of Western civilization. The number of romantic comedies that can be described as Roberts-Grant love stories (whether or not they actually feature those actors) could fill a Blockbuster. (They already do. Next time you’re on the way to the mailbox for your Netflix DVDs, pop into a Blockbuster and you’ll see the concrete proof.) So it’s refreshing to see a movie like “Emma’s Bliss” where the central love story takes place between a renegade car salesman dying of stomach cancer and a reclusive, anti-establishment pig-rancher. Surprisingly, it’s not any more contrived than a Hollywood rom-com, but far more entertaining and sincere. Jürgen Vogel plays Max, an unhappy auto hawker who has slipped into oblivious malaise and unethical behavior under the weight of modern life, but is pushed by the certainty of his own painful demise to seize the day… and his boss’s ill-gotten cash stash. Fleeing from the scene of the crime, he crashes off the road and lands on Emma’s modest property. She drags him inside to nurse back to consciousness, but keeps the money she finds and burns the car. Max stows away in her barn, gradually graduating to her tool-shed and bedroom as the two unlikely friends fall in love. Emma (Jördis Triebel) completely steals the show, going far beyond the sugary feistiness of traditional rom com “independent spirits” by digging into livestock guts with her bare hands and lovingly slitting pig-throats “the old fashion way.” She wrinkles her nose at vegetarian dishes and even more so at Max’s misguided attempt to alphabetize her canned goods (his cleaning is a deep violation of her stubborn sensibilities). Don’t let the intrinsic wackiness or food theme fool you, though. This film is about challenging our sterilized notions of experiencing life only through layers of glass and plastic. “Emma’s Bliss” focuses on genuine love and pain (both parts of her hand-crafted “bliss”) and not merely making our mouths water with savory meats or media-sculpted celebrities. It’s closer to “Harold and Maude” than a typical contender for this list. I should note that, yes, there is comedy. Expect it to be closer to the everyday smiles discovered throughout real relationships and not the ones synthesized by the outrageous situations that TV characters and Meg Ryan constantly get themselves into. This, despite the somewhat over-the-top personalities and elaborate meet-cute. Taddicken sells it by relying on sensitivity for his characters, in keeping with the author’s (Claudia Schreiber) love and respect for her work. The camerawork also pays tribute to them by refusing to shy away from the dirt, blood and blemishes that make theses people come alive and gradually awakening the audience to a beauty that commercials for personal hygiene products have trained us not to see.

HEALTH FORUM: The EMSB, the Quebec Council on Tobacco and Health, the Youth Coalition Against Smoking and la Direction de santé publique de l’Agence de la santé et des services sociaux de Montréal (DSP), will co-present an important youth forum on Wednesday, April 29 about smoking. It will take place at St. Pius X Career Centre (9955 Papineau Street North) in Ahuntsic from 8:30 a.m. to 1 pm. and include the presence of Grade 10 students from EMSB high schools. The Forum will provide participating students an opportunity to interact with their peers who share the same health awareness concerns. Students will be involved in small-group activities, as well as plenary sessions designed to help student participants give voice to their concerns about this issue, and to find creative ways to address it both on-site, and afterward, in their own schools. The students will be asked to use their creative energies to get the message out to the Minister of Health. Student representatives, along with the Spiritual Community Animator for their school, will be asked to facilitate participation in a post-forum lunch-hour activity featuring a “Q&A” card challenge.

The hour-long program on energy efficiency is being organized by Jour de la Terre Québec and Énergère, a leading Quebec-based energy service company. This is geared towards students in grades 5 to 7 and will show them through a lively power point presentation and several interactive demonstrations, what energy is all about, as well as the different ways of practicing energy efficiency. The participating schools are: John F. Kennedy High School in St. Michel; Michelangelo International in Riviere des Prairies; Roslyn School in Westmount; Dante School in St. Leonard; and Rosemount High School. See press release. City’s Breakfast Television was live on location at John F. Kennedy High School to mark Earth Day. Below are the video clips: JFK Recycling http://www.btmontreal.ca/videos/4188719043001/ Quizzing High Schoolers at JFK on Earth Day Jour de la Terre Quebéc CTV Report from JFK http://montreal.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.2340359 THE PROJECT: A reminder that 17 EMSB schools and centres are taking part in a $24.6 million major initiative aimed at bolstering energy efficiency in school buildings. This new project with Énergère, which was officially announced last month, includes, among other measures, equipment renewal and modernization using aerothermal technology, replacing 25,300 lights and the addition of automated controls to enhance the comfort of staff and students. Once the project is completed, the 17 buildings will achieve a 53 percent reduction in energy consumption and 74 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per year. POSTER CONTEST: Eight EMSB elementary schools have been invited to participate in a contest sponsored by the EMSB and Énergère to help promote and raise awareness of energy efficiency and saving the planet. Each participating school will receive a drawing of a tree on an eight by eight foot piece of coroplast poster board. Students have to cut out a leaf or petal from a piece of paper, write their own idea on it regarding how to save the planet, and then paste the leaf or petal on the picture, which would create a unique-looking landscape. Prizes will be awarded for the best ideas and the winning landscape picture will go on display at the EMSB head office. The eight elementary schools that have been invited to participate in this contest, and are also part of the energy efficiency project, are Pierre Elliott Trudeau School in Rosemount; St. Gabriel School in Pointe St. Charles; Roslyn School in Westmount; Gerald McShane School in Montreal North; Dante School in St. Leonard; and East Hill School, Leonardo Da Vinci Academy and Michelangelo International in RDP. Participants gather at the start of the Spirit Quest. SPIRIT QUEST: On Wednesday, April 22 students and spiritual and community animators (SCA) from the EMSB took part in an event modelled around television’s Amazing Race, but aimed at visiting sacred spiritual sites and experiencing compassion in action in order to further develop their spiritual awareness. There were number of links to Earth Day, including a tree planting and a celebration of First Nations’ traditions of caring for the earth and for one another, at the launching of the event. The first ever EMSB-SCA Spirit Quest involved six schools: Lester B. Pearson High School in Montreal North, Vincent Massey Collegiate in Rosemount, Rosemount High School, John F. Kennedy High School in St. Michel and Marymount Academy International and Royal Vale High School in NDG. Teams commenced their day-long journey at the EMSB Central Head Office at 6000 Fielding Avenue in NDG at 8 a.m. and concluded around 3:30 p.m. at Vincent Massey Collegiate. Students were tasked with completing a photo challenge, gathering information and be coming inspired to give back to their own community. Actions included honouring Canadian Veterans and fallen soldiers at one of the locations, visiting sacred sites and learning about the history of Montreal. One of the goals of the SCA service is to facilitate and encourage students to put into action their best self, and express their own positive virtues and character traits. This is the “Virtues Program” delivered by the SCA service that is the foundation of the EMSB/SCA Spirit Quest, representing a journey to deeper self-understanding. Each team consisted of a maximum of six students aged 12 to 16 and one SCA. They navigated a series of clues to get from one location to another by walking or using eco-friendly public transit, encountering route markers, road blocks and detours. The Spirit Quest allows students to visit civic, historic, and spiritual and community organization sites while obtaining personal experience in developing positive virtues and character traits, strengthening the bonds of school-community relations as well as their intimate connection to the earth and their own spirit.

On this special day, the students will have opportunities to interact and share dialogue with other students from the metropolitan area and share their ideas. With the encouragement and support of each school, all students will learn to develop tools and technologies for the future. “We are pleased to encourage these students in their scientific journey in the process of active inquiry and wish them much success,” said Dunrae Gardens Principal Darlene Kehyayan. Students and representatives. MULTI-FAITH ASSEMBLY: Over the past four months, students at Dunrae Gardens have taken a leap of faith – into all faiths – courtesy of Spiritual and Community Animator Puynung Choy. Since January, students had the opportunity to learn about the major world religions, hearing from spiritual leaders representing a variety of belief systems from throughout the world. The unit wrapped up recently when students from Grades 4 through 6 engaged in a multi-faith assembly with guest speakers: Buddhist Daryl Lynn Ross from True North Insight Centre, Minister David Clinker from the Town of Mount Royal United Church, and Imam Salam Elmenyawi from the Montreal Muslim Council. The colorful presentations, each unique in style and delivery, allowed the students to see the broad spectrum of what each religion, and religion itself, offers. “The knowledge we gained about each other has brought us closer to one another,” said Ms. Choy. “This knowledge provokes a deeper interest in each other. While we are aware that each religion differs, we came to understand that there are even differences in the same religious community, and that variation is common amongst all religions. Beauty lies in the complexity of humankind.” Pedagogical Consultant Paul Kettner in his role of judge with some of the winners. PUBLIC SPEAKING: The 2015 English Montreal School Board annual board-wide Public Speaking Competition for secondary students took place on April 17 at Rosemount High School.

Cancer has already taken two of his sisters. On April 12 -- Terry Fox Day – Nolan ran again and made sure there were others doing the same across the country. “This year being the 35th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, all of the Running Rooms across Canada decided to get involved,” he said. DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP: The EMSB Pedagogical Services Department has launched a new Digital Citizenship initiative. Over two consecutive Board-wide Ped Days in March, elementary and secondary teachers and administrators were treated to insightful presentations from keynote speaker Dr. Alec Couros. On the first day, 700 secondary teachers were on hand followed by 900 from the primary level the following day. Dr. Couros is a professor of educational technology and media in the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina. He works with pre-service and practicing teachers to help them develop the skills needed to become and remain innovative, connected educators. He has facilitated hundreds of presentations worldwide on the topics of educational tech integration, digital citizenship, connected learning, and digital identity. During his presentation Dr. Couros interacted with the audience and live tweeted. You can review all of the Ped Day tweets at #emsbdc. “Digital Citizenship is a concept that continues to evolve,” stated Assistant Director of Pedagogical Services Athina Galanogeorgos. “This is just the beginning. We were very lucky to have Dr. Couros share his expertise with all of us. Our role as educators continues to change and one of our greatest responsibilities will be to prepare students to navigate through all of this new technology and social media in a safe, intelligent and appropriate manner.” CLEAN UP THE GROUNDS: Despite the wet weather outside, the Edward Murphy Elementary School community of 240 students, staff, parents, as well as two wonderful volunteers from local Eco Quarter, came together recently to clean up their school grounds, both inside and out. Led by Spiritual Community Animator Rocco Speranza, students, sporting their lovely “On se ramasse tous ensemble” t-shirts, collected recyclable materials as well as raked leaves and branches for composting that were left on school grounds from the fall. Students continued indoors as well, ensuring that the school looked spotless. “It is very important to care for our outside environment, but keeping our indoor space clean and helping our caretakers is also important,” said Mr. Speranza. Students were provided a healthy snack thanks to local Maxi Versailles. Clean up activities like this one take place regularly at Edward Murphy School as part of the Spiritual and Community Animator green program and activities. VIVA! SISTEMA: Thirty-two students from the extraordinary after school program at St. Gabriel Elementary School in Pointe St. Charles called Viva! Sistema celebrated three transformative years of musical achievement, as they joined up with 110 musicians from two North American orchestras -- the University of North Carolina Chamber Orchestra and Fine Arts Core Education (FACE) Symphony Orchestra -- for the "Unidos por la música" concert. It took place on Saturday, March 28 at the St. Charles' Church in Pointe St. Charles, which attracted over 300 people. A nice group shot of the key players at the concert. Under the direction of guest conductor Jonathan Andrew Govias, the concert was a dazzling evening that featured a program of Latin American symphonic numbers by composers from that region, as well as musical selections from Georges Bizet’s classic opera “Carmen.” There were also violin solos that were performed by young FACE violin virtuosos Yu Kai Sun, Richard Zheng and Robert Margaryan. The 32 students from St. Gabriel’s Viva! Sistema program appeared during the second half of the concert, where they performed two numbers for strings by Bach and Strachan, as well in the final number of the evening, in which they performed alongside both orchestras.

CABANE À SUCRE: The students and teachers at Westmount Park Elementary School were treated to a wonderful Quebec tradition – sugaring off. The entire school visited Cabane à Sucre LaBranche over the course of three days. For many of our students this was the first time that they tasted maple syrup. It was love at first bite! The day was filled with lots of exciting new experiences: the children rode in a horse-drawn wagon through the maple groves. Their driver told them all about how maples are tapped for their sap. They also visited a miniature farm where they were hard-pressed to choose their favourite creature. Among the front-runners were the peacock, feisty goats, shy little lambs, and curious calf. From there, it was off to the kitchen where the children got to see and hear first-hand how the maple sap becomes maple syrup. The smell alone was mouth-wateringly delicious. By then, everyone was ready for lunch. The good news is that lunch was ready for them as well! The food was incredible. The stars were the traditional sugar shack fare: pea soup, sliced ham, fluffy eggs, home-style breakfast potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, pickled beets, pickles, bacon, pork rinds and of course, fresh rolls. Our halal and vegetarian friends were not left out, there was a scrumptious vegetable soup, root vegetable casserole and meat-free beans to fill their bellies. Then there was dessert … we all had pancakes with fresh maple syrup and an out-of-this-world treat called “grands-pères à l'érable.” A moist cake swimming in a sea of warm maple sugar sauce. With bellies filled to bursting, the children and staff made their way back to the main room to get dressed for the trip back to school. On their way out, a surprise was waiting … “tire!” Each one got a popsicle stick rolled into warm maple taffy. It was the perfect sweet ending to a Quebec tradition among the maples. Some outdoor activities with Dynamix. DYNAMIX IN WESTMOUNT: On April 14 and 17, the students at Westmount Park Elementary School, honed their team-work with the help of the awesome animators from Dynamix!

A good time was had by all! GAY STRAIGHT ALLIANCE: The groundbreaking Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club at Lester B. Pearson High School in Montreal North is getting ready to celebrate its first anniversary in mid-May. It will coincide with International Day against Homophobia (May 17).

Over the past year, it has successfully provided a platform for students to have a voice and promote diversity and awareness through education, support, social justice and advocacy. In honour of their first anniversary, the GSA will be unveiling a mural that has been painted on the club’s door. Open to students during lunch as well as after school, the GSA has become ingrained in the community at LBPHS, offering students an environment where they are valued, recognized and accepted.

THE ENVELOPE: Students and staff from the EMSB’s James Lyng and FACE High Schools attended a matinee performance of Vittorio Rossi’s outstanding new production at the Centaur Theatre called The Envelope. Rossi is a James Lyng grad and encouraged students to attend when he visited the St. Henri campus in February. The Envelope, a comedy-drama anchored in the complex Canadian film industry, finished its run on April 19. The story began with excited actors gathering in a local Italian restaurant, with two producers jockeying for the film rights to a new play premiering at an Old Montreal theatre. Torn between an L.A. indie filmmaker and a local producer dangling a tempting multi-million dollar envelope from the Canadian Federal Film Fund, the playwright had to confront ambition over loyalty and money over art. Made in Canada movie projects generate more red tape than red carpet winners in this engaging new play about the celluloid dream factory. After the show, actors Ron Lea, David Gow, Tony Calabretta, Guido Cocomello, Shawn Campbell, Mélanie Sirois and Leni Parker engaged in a talk back with the students. CROSS CURRICULAR PROJECT: Secondary IV students at James Lyng are working on a cross curricular project which focuses on the history of the South West community. As a part of that project, students must photograph and interview past and present community members. It will culminate with a photo book featuring interviews, photos of historical landmarks, portraits, and creative writing pieces. There will also be a mural on the outside wall of the school using portraits of community members interviewed. Once completed, there will be a vernissage to close off the project, celebrate the youth’s works as well as to officially launch the school’s Urban Arts program. Concordia athletes played a helpful role. JUMP ROPE FOR HEART: Students, parents and staff at Royal Vale School in N.D.G. broke the $200,000 plateau in funds raised at the 12th annual Jump Rope for Heart.

ROSEMOUNT TECHNOLOGY CABINETMAKING: Cabinetmaking students at Rosemount Technology Centre (RTC) are putting their new skills to work helping the community this spring, by building two kitchens for Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit organization that helps house low-income families. Supervised by veteran instructor Alan Rogers, the students are involved in every step of production, from on-site measurements to the final tweak of a screw to adjust the cabinet doors. Six months ago many of them had never used power tools. The build comes halfway into the 14 month professional training. Students have already built many smaller projects including boxes, solid wood cabinetry, and tables. RTC Cabinetmaking began the collaboration with Habitat in 2013 with the construction of two kitchens for a duplex in the east end of Montreal. The project was a success with students and “we would love to make it a tradition – it’s a great example of collaboration between community, education, and industry,” says instructor Eliane Kinsley, who initiated the project.Construction in the school workshop began on March 31 and concluded April 15. Installation in the St Henri duplex will be done later in the month of April. Listen to this interview on CBC Radio Home Run. You can also see this photo album of the final product. HSM TEACHER HIGHLIGHTED: The Montreal Gazette recently filed an interesting story about High School of Montreal Adult Education Centre teacher Daniel Isaiah. In the Mile End apartment he has called home these last eight years, Isaiah keeps a space devoted to music and another to writing. The Montreal West native, who spent the bulk of his formative years at Jewish schools in neighbouring Côte St-Luc, can likely be found at his work desk in the spacious and tidy living room during business hours. It’s where he plies his more time-consuming trade: script-writing. Across the kitchen lies a more cramped and cluttered room boasting an unobstructed view of Mount Royal. In this inspiring setting, Isaiah wrote his second solo album, Come Into Gone, with a guitar and a small piano made with less keys than the norm. “Music is a relaxant for me,” the 35-year-old said, motioning to the music room while seated at the other end of the apartment. “Mornings are good. I like to wake up, have a coffee, and then on an empty stomach get lost a bit in making music. Late at night can also work. During the day it’s more the other stuff.” In 2014, Isaiah directed and co-wrote the short film, Entre chien et loup, under his full name, Daniel Isaiah Schachter. Right now, he’s in laid-back talk-singing songwriter mode, although the next movie project could be just around the corner. After years in bands, Isaiah made his solo debut with the album High Twilight in 2011. He didn’t feel the pressure to follow it up in a timely manner. Come Into Gone was released earlier this month.

ÉDITION DU 23 AVRIL 2015 / BULLETIN DE LA CSEM ÉCONOMIES D’ÉNERGIE: Les écoles primaires et secondaires de la CSEM soulignent la semaine du Jour de la Terre (20 au 24 avril) de diverses façons, incluant la participation à une programmation spéciale reliée à l’efficacité énergétique. Le programme d’une heure sur l'efficacité énergétique est organisé par Jour de la Terre Québec et Énergère, une société de services énergétiques de premier plan au Québec. Le programme vise les élèves de la 5e à la 7e année et leur démontrera, par le biais d’une présentation animée PowerPoint et de plusieurs démonstrations interactives ce que signifie l’énergie ainsi que les divers moyens de pratiquer l’efficacité énergétique. Les écoles participantes sont : l’école secondaire John F. Kennedy de Saint-Michel; Michelangelo International de Rivière-des-Prairies; l’école Roslyn de Westmount; l’école Dante de Saint-Léonard et l’école secondaire Rosemont. LE PROJET: Un rappel que 17 écoles et centres de la CSEM participent à une initiative majeure de 24,6 millions $ visant à rehausser l’efficacité énergétique des bâtiments d’école. Ce nouveau projet avec Énergère, qui a été officiellement annoncé le mois dernier, inclut, entre autres mesures, le renouvellement et la modernisation d’équipement utilisant la technologie aérothermique, le remplacement de 25 300 ampoules électriques et l’ajout de contrôles automatisés pour rehausser le confort du personnel et des élèves. Dès que le projet sera complété, les 17 bâtiments atteindront une réduction de 53 pour cent de consommation d’énergie et une réduction de 74 pour cent d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre par an. ANGELIQUE FALBO: La CSEM est très fière d’Angelike Falbo, élève du secondaire V de l’école secondaire Laurier Macdonald. Elle a atteint les finales du spectacle populaire de la télévision francophone La Voix qui est suivi par plus de 2,5 millions de personnes chaque semaine. Angelike a fréquenté la CSEM depuis qu’elle a joint le réseau d’éducation publique, premièrement à l’école primaire Frederick Banting, ensuite à l’école secondaire du 1 er cycle John Paul I et maintenant à Laurier Macdonald. Son père, Joe Falbo, est un canado-italien et sa mère Manon Ledoux est francophone. M. Falbo crédite l’excellent enseignement du français de la CSEM pour le bilinguisme d’Angelike. Son impeccable maîtrise du français est régulièrement mise en vedette au cours des entrevues, sur scène et certainement par la chanson. Video ici. Une des autres quatre finalistes a été Rosa Laricchiuta, diplômée de l’école secondaire Lester B. Pearson de Montréal-Nord. MOIS DE SENSIBILISATION À L’AUTISME: En reconnaissance du Mois de sensibilisation à l’autisme, les élèves, le personnel et les parents de l’école primaire Edward Murphy d’Hochelaga Maisonneuve ont organisé récemment une marche pour répandre la sensibilisation à l’autisme et appuyer leurs camarades atteints d’autisme. Les élèves d’Edward Murphy ont beaucoup appris au sujet de l’autisme au cours des dernières semaines. Edward a deux classes spécialisées pour les élèves avec autisme. Guidé par la directrice Franca Cristiano, le personnel offre aux élèves des occasions de mieux se connaître et de jouer ensemble. Il intègre les élèves autistes aux classes régulières et constate un très grand progrès. En préparation au Mois de sensibilisation à l’autisme, Tania Piperni, conseillère en troubles du spectre autistique de la CSEM, a présenté des ateliers sur l’autisme à chaque cycle donnant aux élèves l’occasion de poser des questions et de mieux le comprendre. Stéphanie Napolitano et Pamela D’Adamo enseignent aux deux classes de l’école pour élèves autistes et ont organisé la marche de sensibilisation à l’autisme, à laquelle tous les élèves, enseignants et quelques parents ont participé. Voir communiqué de presse. Entre temps, le personnel de l’école primaire Carlyle de VMR a porté du bleu au travail le 2 avril pour souligner la Journée de sensibilisation à l’autisme. Il a répondu à une invitation lancée par leurs collègues de l’école Giant Steps. VISITE À PEARSON: Le programme couronné de succès CSEM-Impact intitulé (Jusqu’au bout avec l’Impact), conçu pour promouvoir l’importance de la persévérance scolaire, se poursuit pour une 10e année consécutive. Le lancement officiel a eu lieu le 31 mars à l’école secondaire Lester B. Pearson de Montréal-Nord, qui offre le seul programme Sport-Études à la CSEM et a aussi un partenariat avec l’Académie Impact. Actuellement, neuf élèves du programme Sports-Études jouent pour l’Académie Impact. Des invités spéciaux au lancement incluaient des membres de l’Impact de Montréal et de l’Académie : le gardien de but, Evan Bush, le joueur de milieu de terrain et élève de l’école secondaire Lester B. Pearson et membre de l’Académie Tristano Fasulo ainsi que l’ancien joueur de l’Impact et actuellement entraîneur-chef de l’équipe U18 de l’Académie, Jason Di Tullio. CONCOURS D’ART ORATOIRE: Le concours 2015 d’art oratoire de la Commission scolaire English-Montréal pour les élèves du secondaire a eu lieu le 17 avril à l’école secondaire Rosemont. Comme par les années passées, le Club Rotary a invité le lauréat du secondaire V à participer à son concours en mai. En outre, le Cercle canadien des femmes a offert au lauréat du secondaire IV une semaine, tous frais payés, à Rencontres avec le Canada à Ottawa. Les finales d’école pour choisir leurs représentants ont eu lieu en mars et au début d’avril. Le format requis pour les élèves du secondaire I et II était la présentation d’un texte qui relatait une histoire personnelle, telle que la vie en famille ou un incident autobiographique. Les élèves du secondaire III, IV et V ont fait des discours persuasifs sur des sujets d’importance sociale et globale. CITOYENNETÉ NUMÉRIQUE: Les Services pédagogiques de la CSENM ont lancé une nouvelle initiative de citoyenneté numérique. Au cours de deux journées pédagogiques consécutives en mars, les enseignant(e)s du primaire et du secondaire et les directions d’école ont eu droit à des présentations pertinentes de la part du conférencier Dr Alec Couros. À la première journée, 700 enseignant(e)s du secondaire étaient présents, suivis le second jour par 900 enseignant(e)s du primaire. Le Dr Couros est professeur de technologie éducative et de médias de la Faculté de l’Éducation de l’Université de Régina. Il œuvre avec des enseignants en formation et en service actif pour les aider à développer les habiletés nécessaires pour devenir et continuer à être des éducateurs innovateurs et connectés. Il a animé mondialement des centaines de présentations sur l’intégration de la technologie éducative, la citoyenneté numérique, l’apprentissage connecté et l’identité numérique. Au cours de sa présentation, le Dr Couros a interagit avec l’auditoire et envoyé des tweets en direct. Vous pourrez revoir tous les tweets des journées pédagogiques à #emsbdc. « La citoyenneté digitale est un concept qui continue à évoluer » a déclaré la directrice adjointe des Services pédagogiques, Athina Galanogeorgos. « Ceci n’est que le début. Nous avons eu la chance que le Dr Couros partage son expertise avec nous tous. Notre rôle d’éducateurs continue à évoluer et l’une de nos plus grandes responsabilités sera de préparer les élèves à naviguer à travers toute cette nouvelle technologie et médias sociaux de façon sécuritaire, intelligente et appropriée. » SAUTONS EN COEUR: Les élèves, les parents et le personnel de l’école Royal Vale de NDG ont dépassé le plateau de 200 000 $ en fonds levés au 12e « Sautons en cœur » annuel. Organisé annuellement par le spécialiste en éducation physique, Norman Katz, la tradition est ancrée à l’école et tout l’effectif scolaire de la maternelle à la 11e année participe ainsi qu’un grand nombre de parents bénévoles qui encouragent les élèves, distribuent des rafraîchissements sains. L’école a aussi organisé une activité familiale où les parents pouvaient sauter à la corde avec leurs enfants. Comme par les années passées, l’évènement a aussi attiré des athlètes locaux dont plusieurs élèves–athlètes des Concordia Stingers, ainsi que des membres des Alouettes de Montréal. D’autres écoles sont encouragées à participer au programme annuel de « Sautons en Cœur » offert aux écoles primaires de Montréal. Appuyant la santé des enfants depuis plus de 30 ans, la FondationMC des maladies du cœur, encourage les enfants à être actifs en sautant à la corde tout en recueillant des promesses de dons pour la recherche sur les maladies du cœur. Le programme donne l’occasion aux enfants de sauter et de jouer en même temps que 750 000 autres enfants dans plus de 4 000 écoles à travers le Canada. Au cours des années, l’école Royal Vale de NDG, guidée par l’enseignant d’éducation physique, Norman Katz, a organisé plusieurs évènements couronnés de succès. Voici une affiche qui décrit le programme -- http://www.emsb.qc.ca/emsb_en/pdf_en/media_en/flyer/2014-09-04-Jump_online.pdf.

HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS: Zeus McClurkin, un joueur des Harlem Globetrotters de renommée mondiale, a visité deux écoles primaires de la CSEM le 30 mars pour présenter « l’ABC de la prévention de l’intimidation » qui vise les élèves de 6 à douze ans. Le programme a eu lieu à l’école primaire Roslyn de Westmount et l’école primaire Coronation de Côte-des-Neiges. Les Globetrotters qui ont joué au Centre Bell le 10 avril ont conçu le programme en collaboration avec la campagne nationale Stop Violence (NCSV). La campagne est axée sur l’Action, la Bravoure et la Compassion qui forment l’ABC. Les visites ont remporté un très grand succès. BÂTIR UNE BONNE FONDATION: La Fondation de l’école Roslyn a reçu, le 24 mars dernier, les élèves de troisième année du cours de communication du professeur Amy Creighton. L’évènement communautaire s’est tenu à la bibliothèque de l’école Roslyn et a souligné les projets de groupe des élèves avec des recommandations sur la façon dont la Fondation devrait célébrer son 10e anniversaire cet automne. Sept groupes ont présenté leurs propositions du conseil d’administration de la Fondation et aux invités de l’école Roslyn. La Fondation était représentée par : Paul Tsang (président), Irma Alvarez (vice-présidente), Jennifer Timmons (secrétaire) Mélanie Dinis-Fernandez et Jasmin Uhthoff (membre fondatrice et première présidente) ainsi que le directeur de l’école Roslyn, Nicholas Katalifos. Les invités spéciaux de la Fondation incluaient le président du conseil d’établissement de Roslyn, Brian Weber, et l’ancienne présidente du conseil d’établissement et partisane de longue date de l’école Roslyn, Christine Cardinal. Les élèves du professeur Creighton ont fait preuve d’une grande énergie, d’enthousiasme et de raisonnement stratégique dans leurs recommandations à la Fondation. Le président, Paul Tsang a déclaré « Pour la majorité des élèves, ce projet marque leur premier abord à une entreprise à but non lucratif et le groupe a rapidement démontré sa compréhension des défis de la Fondation. Ce projet a permis aux élèves d’appuyer les efforts de la Fondation de générer de la sensibilisation et de lever des fonds pour l’école. Nous espérons que les élèves maintiendront le contact. Nous allons définitivement les inviter à célébrer notre 10e anniversaire cet automne! » Des rafraîchissements ont été gracieusement offerts par des parents de Roslyn et des amis de la Fondation. Le conseil d’administration désire remercier le professeur Creighton et ses élèves pour leurs efforts visant à faire avancer la Fondation et, à son tour, la Commission espère que par le biais de ce projet, il y ait plus de 30 nouveaux ambassadeurs de la Fondation de l’école Roslyn. DÉFI TOONIE: Pour la troisième année consécutive, l’école primaire Willingdon de NDG a participé au Défi Toonie (pièce de deux dollars), une initiative lancée par la Fondation du Centre universitaire de santé McGill. L’objectif du Défi Toonie est de recueillir suffisamment de pièces de deux dollars (69 000) pour encercler tout le campus Glen. Tout en recueillant les pièces de monnaie, les élèves se renseignent au sujet des besoins de l’hôpital. Toutes les classes de 5e année de Kathleen Usher ont participé au défi. Une équipe de 22 élèves a donné l’exemple en fabriquant des affiches et en faisant des présentations au sujet du Défi Toonie à leurs camarades. Unique à Willingdon, au lieu de la traditionnelle Foire de science, les élèves ont choisi des projets traitant du corps humain et présenteront leur recherche sous forme d’ateliers amusants et interactifs aux élèves de 1re année en mai. En sus d’aider la Fondation, la récompense pour la classe qui a recueilli le plus de pièces de deux dollars a été un système digestif complet composé de fruits frais et servi avec une sauce au chocolat. « Nos élèves ont fortement apprécié le Défi Toonie » déclare Mme Usher. « Ils ont pu participer à des activités (commanditées par le CUSM) auxquelles ils n’auraient pas eu accès. » Onze écoles ont participé au Défi. SERVICES DE L’ÉDUCATION DES ADULTES ET DE LA FORMATION PROFESSIONNELLE ENSEIGNANT EN VEDETTE: La Gazette de Montréal a récemment publié un article intéressant au sujet de Daniel Isaiah, enseignant au Centre d’éducation des adultes du High School of Montreal. Dans l’appartement du Mile End qu’il occupe depuis les dernières huit années, Isaiah réserve un espace à la musique et un autre à l’écriture. Originaire de Montréal-Ouest, il a passé la majorité de ses années de formation dans des écoles juives de Côte Saint-Luc, on peut probablement le trouver à sa table de travail où il consacre la majorité de son temps à rédiger des scénarios. En face de la cuisine se trouve une chambre encombrée avec une vue dégagée du Mont-Royal. C’est dans cet environnement inspirant qu’Isaiah a composé son second album solo « Come into Gone » avec une guitare et un petit piano et moins de clés que d’habitude. Après plusieurs années avec des orchestres, Isaiah a débuté en solo avec son album High Twilight en 2011. Il n’a pas ressenti la pression d’en publier un autre immédiatement. « Come into Gone » a été publié au début de ce mois.

__label__wiki	0.720464	0.720464	UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon U.N. CONDEMNS IRAN'S EXECUTION OF MINORS, NOTES 'WORRYING TREND' October 19, 2015: United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned Iran's execution of two minors last week, while voicing his concern about the rise in executions in the Islamic Republic. "(Ban) is deeply saddened by the news of the execution of two juvenile offenders last week in Iran," Ban's press office said in a statement. It added that Iran has ratified both the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which prohibit the death penalty for anyone under the age of eighteen. The statement said Ban was concerned last week's executions "reflect a worrying trend in Iran." "Over 700 executions are reported to have taken place so far this year, including at least 40 public, marking the highest total recorded in the past 12 years," it said. The U.N. said the majority of Iranian death sentences were imposed for drug-related offences - crimes that fall below the threshold of the "most serious crimes" as required by international law. It added that Ban urged Iran to call a moratorium on the death penalty and then to abolish it. Activist groups say Iran's human rights record should remain under scrutiny following a July 14 deal with world powers in which Tehran will see economically crippling sanctions against it lifted in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. New York-based Human Rights Watch has said that despite Iran's 2013 election of President Hassan Rouhani, a pragmatist favoring more engagement with the West, there has been no significant improvement in human rights in the country.

__label__cc	0.560302	0.439698	Do you have a project that no one can solve? We specialize in projects that the average engineer cannot solve. Examples include building a set of stairs over a cliff with no access, modifying an old dock for a new life, developing an interpretive trail across a sensitive wetland, an ADA walkway that can move up and down 30 feet with no operators, or a new dam that can tranform from a fish passage to a recreational lake with the seasons. The following examples are a small sample of our innovative solutions and unique approaches to impossible problems. Stairs Off the Cliff This unique problem included providing a way to access a new public fishing access dock on the Willamette River. ODFW closed the Oregon City Seawall to sturgon fishing to protect the fish from harm during release. A new dock was developed but no access was included because a 30 foot bedrock cliff prevented access. Flowing Solutions developed an approach to construct a 'ship ladder' to access the new dock. The remote location prevented access by traditional equipment, so the ladder was fabricated in sections that could be transported manually by the owner's maintinace crew. Flowing Solutions also arranged for a specialty concrete/rock contractor to install a custom abutment into the rock face with rock anchors and custom shoring. Oh, and this project had a limited budget, and a several month schedule from beginning to end with opening fishing season already listed in the regulations! Old Dock - New Life The easy answer to this project was to rip out the old dock, crush it up and throw it away. However the expense to the owner and the fact the remaining dock was satisfactory, made an alternate solution desireable. As simple as this project appears, it was one of the more challenging solutions. Several options were developed and reviewed with the owner. A prefered option was bid and one of our creative contractor partners developed a modification of our idea. Rather than rejecting his idea based on ego, we embraced thier modification and worked with them to enhance the repair even further. A side benefit: 150 cubic yards of foam avoided the landfill. Wet Trails Providing a trail through sensitive wetlands can be a significant technical challenge. The short term construction impacts can be invasive and prevent the project from moving forward. But creative solutions occur by being familair with "state-of-art" materials and adapting existing products for new uses. By building the base structure and using it as a work platform and then installing the special footings by hand, disturbance to the wetland was minimized. The exposed surface varies, but the foundation, is the same on both projects. 1,000,000 Users Per Year How do you build a trail on water that meets ADA requirements and can move up and down 30 feet? Oh, and we want it curved too. This was one of our first innovative solution - the start of solutions that have flowed ever since. The solution came from old docks on the Willamette that locals had developed over the years of flooding and damage repair. Why attach the gangway to ground at the top, just let it float up with the water. Now string several gangways together and you get the Eastbank Esplande self-adjusting gangway system. This system operates by itself with no bridge tender. We are sure someone could have engineered a much more complex system, however, but we went for a streamlined solution.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17273
__label__cc	0.639544	0.360456	News & Notes: February 15, 2019 Trader Joe's has introduced two new gluten-free cereals: Neapolitan Puffs and Cocoa Crunch. The Puffs are made with a blend of bean and rice flours, while the Crunch is made with rice and sorghum. Snyder's of Hanover's newest snack food addition is a cinnamon brown sugar version of their gluten-free pretzel pieces. We found these at Wegmans in Cherry Hill - they're in the chip and pretzel aisle - and they are amazing! Not too sweet. Elsie's opens today in Haddon Township (803 White Horse Pike, 856-858-7041), offering gluten-free pickle sandwiches. Guests can build their own breadless sandwiches served on kosher pickles or roll-ups made with cucumbers or pickles instead of wraps. Reader Bethann S. let me know that M2O Burgers & Salads, in the Queen Village section of Philadelphia (701 S. 5th St., 267-930-8388), has gluten-free burger buns and a dedicated fryer. M2O is opening a location at the former home of Elevation Burger in Wynnewood (50 E. Wynnewood Rd.) later this year. In Aston, Wolf's Superior Sandwiches (4417 Pennell Rd., 484-480-3181) has gluten-free bread for sandwiches and lists on its website which sandwiches, burgers and tacos are gluten free. (Thanks to reader Mark K.) Wahlburgers has finally opened its Atlantic City location at the Ocean Resort (500 Boardwalk, 609-783-8868). Gluten-free guests will find burger buns, fries and salad croutons. Also in A.C., Hayday Coffee (131 S. Tennessee Ave., 609-350-6475) offers sweets from the all-gluten-free bakery Kizbee's Kitchen. Sadia's Tea & Coffee in Egg Harbor Township (6106 E. Black Horse Pike, 609-277-7455) lists gluten-free options like salads, soups, wraps and sandwiches on its menu. At Tonic Bar & Grille in Wilmington (111 W. 11th St., 302-777-2040), gluten-free options are noted on the lunch and dinner menus, though there is no dedicated fryer. Everyone's favorite stand at the Reading Terminal Market, the entirely gluten-free Fox & Sons Fancy Corn Dogs, is hitting the road - literally. The RTM stand isn't going anywhere, but the owners hope to launch a 100% gluten-free food truck this summer that will serve up many of the same fried deliciousness that's is available in Philly. The Gluten Intolerance Group of Chester County is hosting a meet-up at the all-gluten-free A&M Factory in Malvern (360 Lancaster Ave.) on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 6 p.m. RSVP by calling 484-798-5371 or 610-724-5497.

__label__wiki	0.883391	0.883391	Music helps rid Laos of landmines SIOBHAN Collie recently returned home from the trip of a lifetime. The Guildford musician last year partnered with Vietnam veteran Gary Bridgeland to host a music benefit at the Guildford Hotel. The event was hugely successful and raised more than $12,000 to go towards clearing landmines in Laos. Ms Collie was able to see the good work first hand during a four-week tour of Laos, the most densely bombed region on the planet, in November/December last year. “I took lots of photos and sort of gathered information,” Ms Collie said. “I just really kind of checked the whole place out and checked out what the Mines and Victims Clearance Trust was doing as well.” Ms Collie said the thing that struck her the most about Laos was the extreme poverty. “The Americans did what they said they were going to do,” she said. “I forget which politician said it, ‘We’re going to bomb them back into the stone age’. “Well, they’re still in the stone age 40 years later. “They live in bamboo houses and they’ve got dirt floors.” Ms Collie visited the village of Ban Xai and has been inspired to continue to support MiVAC’s project work. “Ban Xai is a village which hasn’t been able to plant rice for two generations,” she said. “Traditional agricultural skills are being lost. “MiVAC has a role in supporting this process as well as providing training and education for the local village kids.” MiVAC was started by a couple of Australian Vietnam veterans who cleared landmines in Vietnam. Between 1964 and 1973 Laos was hit by an average of one B-52 bomb load every eight minutes, 24 hours a day. Of the 260 million bombs that rained down, some 80 million failed to explode leaving a deadly legacy rural villagers must contend with every day. Projects undertaken by MiVAC include training local residents in bomb disposal, building and supporting local orphanages, schools and hospitals and clearing cluster munitions from children’s playgrounds and from surrounding rice fields. MiVAC aslo offers villagers development support to re-establish agricultural practice. “It was amazing to see the work they are doing and know that the money we raised here in Guildford is having such an incredible impact on people’s lives so far away,” Ms Collie said. After the success of last year’s benefit, Ms Collie and co-organiser Gary Bridgland held another fundraising benefit concert at the weekend.

Post by: Wayoshi on June 06, 2012, 03:41:27 PM A different-looking Sonic that looks bigger but is much cheaper probably thanks to no options? God damn. :roll: However, that was still an acceptable TTM setup at 4th and a decent jump, especially this late in the season. Bag was incredibly awkward with its slotting and that ugly gameplay. Then she WSD'd to top it all off. She's probably happy with her weak perfect rotation spin x2, but that was overall aggravating to watch including the luggage problem. I've been watching muted at the internship these past couple days, but I'll have to watch Squeeze later. It sounds like Drew actually managed to convert on the opportunity as well. So, not too bad... I will take this June if we can avoid albatrosses like the 1st the rest of the way. I'd like to see 10C & Card one more time, but this is shaping up to be an improvement over S39's ending (I still don't expect 7/4 or Back to School to go too well, regardless). E: To below: I agree 1k wasn't dead-obvious today, but... I mean, she had the cheese of all things there at first. Post by: Bobby McBride on June 06, 2012, 03:43:46 PM TTM: If that $16,660 Sonic had been offered instead, Asher would've won it (the trim he was going for was the 1LS, to be exact). He was closer than the audience was on winning that playing, because they wanted him to go at least one more price. ME: TVs usually aren't too expensive nowadays. Bonus: Easy. IITB: I'm not going to be that harsh on Daisy's wipeout, because the $1K item wasn't as obvious as it usually is (then again, we shouldn't have been surprised given her $8K bid earlier). AN: The last time a $23,694 Mustang was offered in this PG, it was blown despite the only remaining number being the nine- not today! I think the Piggy Bank was actually worth $7.02, but I'm not sure. Squeeze: Only easy for me. SCSD #2: Daisy almost broke even w/ what she could've won on IITB! Showcases: Tough loss for Daisy- I thought she had it won. Decent show today. Post by: Hag on June 06, 2012, 03:46:55 PM Henry is the contestant of the year IMO. Post by: Kev347 on June 06, 2012, 03:54:28 PM This was a pretty messy show - definitely a day for that word. It started off innocently enough in the first half, with standard results in TTM, ME and Bonus. However, the second half was pretty weird. I'll start with the bad: Bag was just awfully played today, and you could tell the playing was chopped to bits and took much longer than we were shown. I really don't think Drew should allow the contestants to go over to the prizes as freely as he does. It might be minor helpful in Bag, but it's really not going to mean a thing in Any Number. I joked in chat today that tomorrow someone's going to want to look at their $10,000 to make sure it's worth $10,000 before they play their game, but we're getting to that point. But now the good: at least an Any Number win resulted - that setup was really pretty easy. Any time you have a Mustang and you have two numbers that someone might think is the 2nd digit of the Mustang show up elsewhere in the price, that actually makes it easier. And then there was Squeeze Play, which certainly was something. I think Henry was intoxicated which just made the whole thing even weirder than it would otherwise be. I'm glad he was OK after wiping out on the turntable, and Drew managed to make the most out of the tooth joke. I particularly liked the line about the Squeeze Play sound effect. :) That tooth just kept on giving today, and at least Drew worked pretty well with him. It helped lighten up what was a fairly average show, although definitely a messy one. That's Too Much (5) - 2:57 Most Expensive (3.5) - 3:13 Bonus Game (5) - 5:11 It's In The Bag (6) - 5:00 Any Number (5) - 4:22 Squeeze Play (3.5) - 4:04 Total (29): 24:47 Post by: MrPlinko on June 06, 2012, 05:01:36 PM Quote from: Hag on June 06, 2012, 03:46:55 PM Drew's type of interaction with Henry's tooth falling out is exactly the thing the show needs more often! That was great! Post by: elskunkoman on June 06, 2012, 05:05:17 PM Today's show was kinda dramatic in many ways like It's in the bag was setup for a wipeout and That's too much most expensive and squeeze play were also setup for losses as well. The only winnable games today were bonus game and any number. Quote from: elskunkoman on June 06, 2012, 05:05:17 PM The only winnable games today were bonus game and any number. All of the games on The Price is Right are winnable. Even Pay the Rent is winnable (unfortunately, it's a non-LFaT killer when people put the lowest item in the mailbox). That's Too Much was winnable - in fact I would have won the car. I knew Daisy lost as soon as she put the toothpaste in the first position. Squeeze Play and Most Expensive were difficult, yes, but not un-winnable. Please, learn the definition of "winnable". Post by: Cartboy on June 06, 2012, 05:53:44 PM Nice wins on Bonus Game & Any Number! :-) I'm glad that Daisy won $11,000 on the Big Wheel & at the same time I'm a little bummed because of how close she was to winning $26,000. Heartbreaking overbid for Daisy in the showcase. Why don't they allow overbidding anyway? Not too bad overall, IMHO. Post by: Torgo on June 06, 2012, 06:12:10 PM Quote from: Cartboy on June 06, 2012, 05:53:44 PM It adds an element of strategy. Post by: JohnHolder on June 06, 2012, 06:58:01 PM Has anyone ever misplaced every single item in It's in the Bag? Daisy placed the second one correctly, not that it mattered. Post by: brosa0 on June 06, 2012, 07:16:42 PM This show really picked up from the first SCSD through to the end. It's funny - I noticed when Marlene got called down third that this old guy in front of her was jumping up and down like a jack-in-the-box and thought for sure he would be called down today. Sure enough - he was next to be called down and then unintentionally provided a great moment on the show. The other two contestants called on stage in the second half were pretty wild too. The Any Number player was a bit of a shouter and I liked her confidence after inspecting the Mustang. The It's In The Bag player kept making the same 'woo' noise every time something excited happened. She sounded like she belonged in a Sound Effects playing on Whose Line. :P After a pretty boring first act (TTM and ME first is a bit bleh) I'm surprised what a good show it became. Post by: Alfonzo on June 06, 2012, 08:37:43 PM Quote from: JohnHolder on June 06, 2012, 06:58:01 PM I don't have the date on hand, unfortunately, but yes it has happened before. Post by: BRB_TheFireball on June 06, 2012, 09:14:43 PM I knew Chevy Sonics were cheap... but that's just ridiculous. Yay! Bonus Game! Watch it spin... I'm pretty sure Bag was not meant to be lost on the first product. I don't know where Daisy shops, but I wanna go there for cheap toothpaste. So is that Ford Mustang the first 2013 car to be offered on the show? By the way, where the hell was that Any Number car win when we needed it two Thursdays ago? Has anybody before Henry ever lost a tooth on the show? Well, Daisy couldn't price worth a crap, but she was certainly a near-perfect wheel spinner! My showcase bids: Jet ski--$20,107 Fiat--$20,107 Post by: GameShowKid on June 06, 2012, 09:16:45 PM Pretty entertaining show today I thought. I really enjoyed how Drew both presented and played Bonus Game. Great job there, and nice win. (Classic turntable shot! Yay! :-) And for some reason, today I thought to myself, "That Bonus Game board is pretty tall.") I also liked Henry's t-shirt. I'm old school myself, and he and Drew's interaction before Squeeze Play was fun to watch. It's been a while since someone has gotten the first product placement wrong in Bag. I'll say it (I think he earned it): Good job today Drew. He even got a joke in about the tooth at the show's end. Post by: stardf29 on June 06, 2012, 09:57:41 PM Well, that was an interesting show. Bonus Game's expresso maker was there for scares. I believe contestants have pegged the cookie cutters at $40 before, so I won't call it a forced win, but it was definitely easy. I thought for sure she was going to lose calling the 9 at the end in Any Number, thinking the cameras were $598. Glad to be wrong, of course, especially considering the rough season this game had before this. Everything involving Henry and his errant tooth was great and helped make that Squeeze Play segment much more entertaining. Boy, did Daisy have quite a day! First, she thinks luggage is $8,000, but then makes up for that gaff by being only $5 on the next IUFB. Then she wipes out on Bag (not entirely her fault, as that was harder than usual for a first item, though she still really stumbled her way through that game), but then her single-revolution spins net her $11,000 (good thing for her that that requires no pricing ability)... and then to cap it all off, she WSD's her showcase at the end. Insanity. Edit: February 15, 2002: Contestant gets every single bag wrong. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wi2To2VRgA&t=3m0s) Post by: tpiradam on June 06, 2012, 10:27:32 PM I don't know what to make of today's show, perhaps because I watched it as it aired and not as I taped it and grow less interested at looking at the tv for each commercial I see for Everest College (I hope I'm not the only Ontarian who feels that way) but there were surely some interesting tidbits more particularily towards the end-ish Daisy bidding $8,000 on luggage reminded me of Gisela in season 37 who bid about $5,000+ on surfboards and ended up becoming the only winner of the show that day and won both showcases but Daisy wiped out in bag and did sort of the reverse of winning both showcases so I guess the only thing in common was their outrageous bidding. I'd love to know what she was thinking. On a completely different note I have to say as unorthodox as it may be and may have seemed I liked how Drew took her over to the grocery products and have a better look at them and poll the audience that way. Didn't help her anyway but I kinda liked it, made the show seem less rushed and hurried in my opinion. Brandi had genuine excitement and it was even better to see her win the car on Any Number I felt like Henry was gonna be a great contestant seeing his shirt as he came on down, who knew he would actually give us one of the silliest, greatest and most genuine moments on the show and perhaps this season in general. This season seems to be ending off on a good note. We had four cars one in one pricing game in the beginning, this seasons biggest winner in about the middle, lets see if we can finish it off with a bang Post by: Punchboard91 on June 06, 2012, 11:02:16 PM Quote from: BRB_TheFireball on June 06, 2012, 09:14:43 PM One lady's false tooth fell out....though it wasn't aired. You can find it on Youtube. Post by: SteveGavazzi on June 06, 2012, 11:22:00 PM Henry was awesome! He was an incredibly good sport about something that would have ruined the day for most people. He even elicited one of the few truly genuine reactions I've seen from Drew, who was starting to get a little exasperated with him at the Big Wheel when he kept trying to stick his tooth back in! Has anyone ever misplaced every single item in It's in the Bag? They have. I distinctly remember one extremely bad playing early in Season 29 with an old woman who wasn't even close to having anything right.

__label__cc	0.615095	0.384905	History from a Woman's Perspective- A Book Blog Blog Tour: The Way of Glory by Patricia J. Boomsma The Way of Glory by Patricia J. Boomsma Edeleboom Books eBook & Paperback; 390 Pages Cate, a teenage girl from twelfth century England, joins her brothers and aunt on a crusade to save Jerusalem that stops in Hispania to battle the Moors. Life on a battlefield strains the family’s closeness as they confront the terror and contradictions of holy war. Cate’s dreams of sainthood change to those of a husband and children when she falls in love with a soldier, but she finds no peace even after the family settles on land taken from the Moors. Cate’s friendship with a conquered Moor soon leads to impossible choices as she faces the cost of betrayal and the loss of all she’s known. Praise for The Way of Glory “One of the many impressive things about The Way of Glory is how lightly it wears its scrupulous research. This fine novel invites you to lose yourself to the compelling character and tumultuous life of a young woman trying to find God and love at the heart of a crusade rooted in greed and hate. This is a remarkable debut by a writer to watch.” -Naeem Murr, author of The Perfect Man “The Way of Glory convincingly portrays a place, a time, and a people vastly different from our own. Historical fiction is a fantastically difficult genre to get right, but Pat Boomsma manages it with aplomb.” -Pinckney Benedict, author of Dogs of God “The Way of Glory is a riveting read from first page to last, as it expertly traces the trajectories of several compelling characters caught up in the Crusades. As the protagonist, Cate will steal your heart; she’s as complex a fourteen-year-old as you will ever meet, and the fate she struggles against is a complicated and often frightening vortex of forces, made ever richer by the intense evocation and very thoughtful depictions. This is a remarkable novel.” -Fred Leebron, author of Welcome to Christiania Amazon \| Barnes and Noble \| IndieBound I grew up in a far southwestern suburb of Chicago among the trees and sloughs of the Cook County Park District, then attended college in Michigan. After graduating, I dreamed of an academic life teaching English literature and began a Ph.D. program at Purdue University. There I concentrated on medieval studies, receiving a Master’s and continuing on for four more years before realizing that no one I knew was finding a permanent, let alone tenure-track, position. So, instead of writing my dissertation I went to law school. I moved to Arizona to escape the brutal midwestern winters and have been practicing law there for over thirty years. My first novel, The Way of Glory, is, in part, an extension of my love for all things medieval.

The Way of Glory Blog Tour Book Spotlight Patricia J. Boomsma Blog Tour: Guest Post by D. K. Marley: The Real Lady Macbeth This guest post by author D.K. Marley is extremely fascinating! She is the author of The Fire of Winter, which examines the life of the historical "Lady Macbeth". I have always been fascinated by this woman and wanted to know more about who she really was, and Mrs. Marley has been gracious enough to share her story with my readers! I am honored to have her as a guest post author. Thank you, D.K. Marley! The Real Lady Macbeth When I first embarked on writing the novel about the real Lady Macbeth and her infamous husband, I must say that my knowledge of the two of them was entirely relegated to what I knew of them from Shakespeare’s play. Macbeth, the play, is one of my favourites of his tragedies, so I knew right off after finishing “Prince of Sorrows”, the historical adaptation of Hamlet, that this would be next on my list. My repertoire of research links and hours spent on this dangerous couple is immense, spanning countless articles of their life and genealog… The Sekhmet Bed (The She-King Saga #1) by Libbie Hawker: A Book Review The Sekhmet Bed (The She-King #1) Author: Libbie Hawker Publisher: Running Rabbit Press Source: My Personal Collection Synopsis: Is Ahmose's divine gift a blessing or a curse? The second daughter of the Pharaoh, Ahmose has always dreamed of a quiet life as a priestess, serving Egypt's gods, ministering to the people of the Two Lands. But when the Pharaoh dies without an heir, she is given instead as Great Royal Wife to the new king – a soldier of common birth. For Ahmose is god-chosen, gifted with the ability to read dreams, and it is her connection to the gods which ensures the new Pharaoh his right to rule. Ahmose's elder sister Mutnofret has been raised to expect the privileged station of Great Royal Wife; her rage at being displaced cannot be soothed. As Ahmose fights the currents of Egypt's politics and Mutnofret's vengeful anger, her youth and inexperience carry her beyond her depth and into the realm… Daughter of the Gods by Stephanie Thornton: A Book Review Daughter of the Gods: A Novel of Ancient Egypt Author: Stephanie Thornton Synopsis: Egypt, 1400s BC. The pharaoh’s pampered second daughter, lively, intelligent Hatshepsut, delights in racing her chariot through the marketplace and testing her archery skills in the Nile’s marshlands. But the death of her elder sister, Neferubity, in a gruesome accident arising from Hatshepsut’s games forces her to confront her guilt...and sets her on a profoundly changed course. Hatshepsut enters a loveless marriage with her half brother, Thut, to secure his claim to the Isis Throne and produce a male heir. But it is another of Thut’s wives, the commoner Aset, who bears him a son, while Hatshepsut develops a searing attraction for his brilliant adviser Senenmut. And when Thut suddenly dies, Hatshepsut becomes de facto ruler, as regent to her two-year-old nephew. Once, Hatshepsut anticipated bein… Copyright © 2013-2018 by Lauralee for History Woman's Perspective I graduated from St. Mary's College of California with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

It's a witty fast-paced fairy tale! A book that readers of all ages will enjoy! For more information about Clovers and Fire, click the image below! Praise for Clovers and Fire: "From fantasy author Lauralee Jacks, Clovers and Fire is a witty, fast-paced fairytale geared toward the eight-to-fourteen age range. The tale boasts all the aspects of a fine adventure story: fearsome monsters, sword fights, true love, and chivalry... the story contains the thread of a magnificent theme–timid yet proud, raw yet polished–flowing through the tale’s tapestry. It is the ageless truth that love sees no outward status and that a real friend is not so much the one who helps you admire the clovers, but the one who stands by you in the fire." ---Victoria Buck, author of The Ocean's Accomplice "A fairy tale never loses its charm. Clovers and Fire is no exception. This story has all the components you've come to love and expect in a fairytale: knights, princes, adventure, magic lands, and even a dragon. Told with a bit of humor, I found this book charming, and great as a family read-out-loud. The short chapters, humor, and vivid action make this a families and children will enjoy." ---Kirstin Pulioff, author of The Escape for Princess Madeline "This story wouldn't be complete without our two heroes, King Stefan and Prince Chauncey, a ferocious ravenhog, young maidens, an ugly troll, and a sea fairing quest to Dreamland. The quest, to see who will win the beautiful Princess Cassandra's hand in marriage. I don't want to spoil the ending, but will say this is not an easy feat. How would you stand up to a fire breathing dragon and a friend that betrays you? This story wraps up forgiveness, bravery, and just pure excitement. I'm a firm believer that if a child doesn't like to read, they haven't found the right book. This book will make readers through its flowing writing style and engaging story. On a side note: I downloaded the book at midnight and couldn't stop until it was over. Highly recommended..."--- Caroline Robinson, author of Pixie and the Green Book Mystery Authors Featured in 2019 Alexandra Walsh Angela Hunt C. K. Brooke D. K.

Photo: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images Tamworth will host the National Rugby Championship decider after the NSW Country Eagles defeated the Melbourne Rising 50-24 in Saturday’s semi-final in Newcastle. The final will be held at Scully Park on Saturday night and will be the Eagles’ second in three seasons. They’ll play the Perth Spirit, who in Sunday’s second semi-final, defeated the Sydney Rays 42-24. It will be the second game the Eagles have played in Tamworth this season after they tackled the Rising at Tamworth Rugby Park back in the third round of the competition. Eagles general managerPeter Playford said there were a few factors that contributed to Tamworth being awarded the final. Among them was the reception they received the Rising game. “The whole town was very accommodating,” he said. “Tamworth has really embraced the Eagles.” It will be their third game in Tamworth in the three years of the competition and Playford’s vision is to host at least a game in Tamworth annually. With Fox Sports broadcasting the gameand, the only week turnaround, they also needed a venue ready and with the facilities to hostsuch a big game. “The last two grand finals have been at Ballymore,” Playford said. “We always said if we made the grand final we’d take it to the bush.” Things were looking shaky for the Eagles early on Saturday with the Rising jumping up to a 16-nil lead inside the first 10 minutes. “Then we put on six unanswered tries,” Playford said. After scoring his first try of this years NRC the previous week,Eagles skipper, and Tamworth boy, Paddy Ryan had a memorable hand in one of those, producing an offload straight out of the top drawer to set Sam Figg up for his second try. Backing up in support of half-back Jake Gordon, after he swooped on a loose ball from a Rising lineout, Ryan flicked a pass -one-handed –across his body. The try put the Eagles ahead 28-16 at half-time and they were never headed from there. “I’m very happy, but you don’t want to get ahead of yourself,” Ryan said after the win. “Clichés in rugby come out for a reason, and that’s because a lot of them ring very true. If we start getting ahead ourselves, then we will fall at the last hurdle.” The final program for Saturday is still being finalised but Playford is looking to bring in big screens so spectators can watch the Aussie womens test against the Kiwis and the third Bledisloe. Tickets are available through West Tamworth Leagues Club at $10 for general admission and $20 for a seat in the stand. This story Administrator ready to work first appeared on 苏州美甲培训.

Women often point to stress, hormones, alcohol, or even the weather as possible triggers for their migraines. But a new study from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center found that it is nearly impossible for patients to determine the true cause of their migraine episodes without undergoing formal experiments. The majority of migraine sufferers try to figure out for themselves what causes their headaches based on real world conditions, said lead author Timothy T. Houle, Ph.D, associate professor of anesthesia and neurology at Wake Forest Baptist. “But our research shows this is a flawed approach for several reasons,” he said. “Correctly identifying triggers allows patients to avoid or manage them in an attempt to prevent future headaches. However, daily fluctuations of variables such as weather, diet, hormone levels, sleep, physical activity and stress ֖ appear to be enough to prevent the perfect conditions necessary for determining triggers.” For example, said Houle, the simple act of drinking a glass of wine one day and not on the next could be complicated by inconsistencies in other factors. Similarly, a patient may drink wine for several days, but adding cheese to the mix one day could further skew results. In fact, a valid self-evaluation requires such perfect conditions that only occur about once every two years, he said. "Many patients live in fear of the unpredictability of headache pain. As a result, they often restrict their daily lives to prepare for the eventuality of the next attack that may leave them bedridden and temporarily disabled,” Houle said. “They may even engage in medication-use strategies that inadvertently worsen their headaches. The goal of this research is to better understand what conditions must be true for an individual headache sufferer to conclude that something causes their headaches.” Houle and co-author Dana P. Turner, M.S.P.H., also of the Wake Forest Baptist anesthesiology department, have published two related papers on the subject in the journal Headache, which were published online ahead of print this month. For the study, nine women who had regular menstrual cycles and were diagnosed with migraine either with or without aura provided data for three months by completing a daily diary and tracking stress with the Daily Stress Inventory, a self-administered questionnaire to measure the number and impact of common stressors experienced in everyday life. Morning urine was also collected daily for hormone level testing. Houle and Turner also reviewed three years worth of weather data from a local weather station. Because of the difficulty in recreating identical conditions each time a patient evaluates a potential trigger, determining triggers proves difficult even for physicians, said Turner. “People who try to figure out their own triggers probably don’t have enough information to truly know what causes their headaches,” she said. “They need more formal experiments and should work with their doctors to devise a formal experiment for testing triggers.” The research was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and of the National Institutes of Health (1R01NS06525701). Co-authors include: Todd A. Smitherman, Ph.D., University of Mississippi, Donald B. Penzien, Ph.D., Head Pain Center, University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Vincent T. Martin, M.D., University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is a fully integrated academic medical center located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

__label__wiki	0.984085	0.984085	Home Government Senate Ponders Update of Electronic Privacy Act Senate Ponders Update of Electronic Privacy Act By Kenneth Corbin \| September 23, 2010 Following the lead of technology companies and public policy advocates, the Senate Judiciary Committee will soon begin investigating ways to update the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act to adjust for advances in social networks, cloud computing and mobile devices. As Enterprise Networking Planet reports, chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) will lead the legislative charge even though it will be very difficult to pass any significant legislation in this election year. But the statute does bring to light a significant friction between the privacy advocates and technology vendors backing reform and some members of the law-enforcement community, who have warned that strengthening ECPA protections could undermine criminal investigations and prosecutions. One of the central goals of Digital Due Process, a coalition working for ECPA reform, is to bring the rules for government access to data stored in the cloud in line with the protections governing access to files on a user's PC. The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday pledged to begin work drafting an update to an aging statute governing the security and privacy of electronic data that critics say has fallen out of step with cloud computing and the new ways that consumers and businesses store and access information. At a hearing this morning, Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said that committee staffers hope to begin developing draft language for an overhaul of the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), a bill that a broad coalition of technology companies and advocacy groups are pushing to revise. "We will start work on this very soon," Leahy said. "This is going to a priority -- bringing this up to date -- in this committee."

To buy a copy, visit http://www.islandofthewhiterose.com by clicking on the link below: TO BUY A COPY VISIT MY WEBSITE http://www.islandofthewhiterose.com Fidel Castro's Speech to Citizens of Cuba, January 9, 1959 In the course of doing research I came across the speech given by Fidel upon his arrival in Havana after Batista left for the Dominican Republic. During the speech, a white dove came and perched on his shoulder, a staged showing that Providence was smiling on him. With the hindsight of 62 years, it is painfully clear that the democratic elections promised in the speech were illusory and that the Cuban people traded one despot for another, only in the process the middle and upper classes, and with them the relative prosperity of Cuba, were decimated. Here is the speech in its entirety. Reportedly, it took 9 hours to deliver. Fellow citizens: I beg of you to maintain order. Are they not revolutionaries, those who are here? Are there not many rebel soldiers here? Are there not many army men here? Then we must have discipline here, and everyone must keep silent. It is my duty to speak here tonight. I am faced with one of the perhaps most difficult of my duties in this long process of struggle which began in Santiago de Cuba on 30 November 1956. The people are listening. The revolutionary fighters are listening, and the soldiers of the army are listening. Their fate is in our hands. I believe that we are at a crossroads in our history. The tyranny has been overthrown. The happiness is tremendous, but nonetheless much remains to be done still. Let us not deceive ourselves in believing that what lies ahead will all be easy. Perhaps all that lies ahead will be more To state the truth is the duty of every revolutionary. To deceive the people, to awaken in them deceitful illusions will always result in the worst of consequences, and I believe that the people must be warned against an excess of optimism. How did the rebel army win the war? By telling the truth. And how did the tyranny lose it? By deceiving the soldiers. As we were faced with the duty, we made this clear over the Rebel Radio and warned all the comrades, so that the same would not happen to them. This was not the case with the army, in which all of the troops fell into error, because the officers and soldiers were never told the truth, and this is where I wish to begin. Or rather I wish to continue in this pattern, that of always telling the people the truth. A period of time has elapsed, which perhaps will represent a considerable advance. Here we are in the capital, in Columbia, the revolutionary forces are triumphant. The government has been established and recognized by many countries in the world. Seemingly peace has been won, but, however, we should not be optimistic. As we proceeded here today, while the people laughed and expressed joy, we were concerned, and the fact that the crowd which gathered to welcome us was most unusual and the happiness of the people was so great made our concern the greater, because it made our responsibility to history and to the people of Cuba the greater. The revolution is no longer confronted with an army ready for combat. Who, in the future, can the enemies of the revolution be? Who, since the people are victorious, can be the enemies of the revolution in times to come? The worst enemies of the Cuban revolution in the future may be the revolutionaries themselves. On one occasion I said to a rebel fighter that when we are not faced with the enemy, when the war has ended, the only enemies the revolution can have will be we ourselves, and for this reason I always say that we must be more demanding of the rebel soldiers than of anyone, because it will depend on them whether the revolution triumphs or fails. There are many kinds of revolutionaries, and many kinds of revolution. We have been hearing talk of revolution for a long time. Even on 10 March, there was talk of revolutionaries. We have heard talk of revolutionaries for a long time, too. I recall my first impression of revolutionaries. Later, study and some maturity gave me an idea of what a revolution really was, and what a revolutionary really was. But my first impression of a revolutionary goes back to childhood. So and so was in this or that battle, and such and such was a revolutionary. In the name of revolution a caste was created, and there were revolutionaries then who wanted to live off the revolution. And it is possible that those who talk the most were those who had done the least, and it is certain that they went to the ministries to seek public posts, hastening to profit from the revolution. And we cannot fall into this, or else we would be throwing away, as they did, the revolutionary ideal. I recall, from my first impressions as a boy, those revolutionaries who went around wearing 45 pistols in their belts and wanted to do things their own way. One had to fear them because they were capable of killing anyone. They went to the officers of high officials, threatening them in order to obtain what they wanted, which these officials had to give them. And in fact, one wonders: where is the revolution they undertook? Because there was no revolution and there were very few revolutionaries. The first question those of us who undertook the revolution must ask ourselves is what our intentions were in doing so, and whether an ambition, an ignoble desire, was hidden in any of us. We must ask ourselves if each of the combatants in this revolution had a firm and heartfelt idea or thought because of some egotistical goal or in the pursuit of other unknown but inadmissible goals. If we undertook this revolution thinking that if only the tyranny were overthrow, we could enjoy the advantages of power, planning to mount the throne and live like a king, in a little palace, expecting life to be a lark for us from then on, if this was why we became revolutionaries, if we thought of removing one minister in order to impose another, to remove one man to impose another, it would not have been worth the trouble undertaking the revolution. But I know that in each one of us there was a real spirit of sacrifice. I know that in each one of us there was a desire to do this, expecting no reward. And if we were ready to give up everything in advance, we were ready also to carry out our duty as sincere revolutionaries. This question must be asked because the fate of Cuba, of ourselves and of the people, may depend to a great extent on this examination of our consciences. When I hear talk of columns, of battle fronts, of troops, I always reflect. Because here our strongest column, our best unit, the only troops capable of winning the war alone are the people. No general can do more than the people. No army can do more than the people. I was asked what troops I would prefer to command, and I answered I would prefer to command the people. Because the people are unconquerable and it was the people who won this war, because we had no army, we had no fleet, we had no tanks, we had no planes, we had no heavy guns, we had no military academies or recruiting and training teams. We had neither divisions nor regiments nor companies nor platoons, but we have the confidence of the people, and with this alone we were able to win the battle for liberty. The people have won this war. And I say this in case anyone believes that the people have been deceived. And therefore, the people are more important than anything. But there is something else: the revolution does not serve my interests as a person, nor those of any other commander or captain. The interests the revolution serves are those of the people. Those who win or lose by the revolution are the people, and it was the people who suffered the horrors of these years, the people who had to decide if in ten, fifteen or twenty years they and their children and their grandchildren would still by suffering from the horrors to which the people of Cuba were subjected under such dictatorships as those of Machado and Batista. It is of great concern to the people whether we will do well by this revolution just completed, and the one before that, etc., and thus it is the people who will suffer the consequence of our errors, because there is no error without consequences for the people. There is no political error for which one does not pay sooner or later. Today's circumstances are not the same as those of yesterday. For example, as of the present there is a greater opportunity than ever for the revolution to fulfill its destiny fully. This is perhaps why the joy of our people today is so great. But there is much more to be added. One of the greatest desires of the nation, as a result of the errors from which it suffered thanks to repression and war, was that for peace, peace with freedom, peace with justice and peace with law. No one asks for another kind of peace, because Batista spoke of peace, spoke of order, but no one wanted that peace and that order. Away with him, because this would have been peace at the cost of subjection. We here want peace as it is: to the benefit of the people. Peace without dictatorship, without crime, without censorship, without repression. Perhaps this is the joy which is most keenly felt now. Perhaps this is the joy of the Cuban mothers, the mothers of soldiers or revolutionaries, the mothers of any citizens who are today aware that their sons are finally free of danger; thus the greatest crime which could be committed in Cuba today would be a crime against peace, and this no one would pardon -- it would be the plotting, by anyone against peace. Anyone today who does anything to threaten peace in Cuba, anyone who puts the calm and happiness of a regime of Cuban freedom in danger is a criminal and a traitor. Those who are not prepared to sacrifice something for peace, those who are not prepared to sacrifice everything for peace are criminals and traitors. As this is my belief, I say and I swear before my fellow citizens and all of my comrades that our movement is the best safeguard for peace in Cuba. From this moment on, the people can be sure of, are guaranteed, a regime of respect, progress and peace, because I am a man who has indeed sacrificed something, as I have proved this on more than one occasion in my life, because I have taught this to my comrades, and therefore, I presume to have sufficient moral authority and strength to speak at a ceremony like this. And the first among those to whom we must speak of this are the revolutionaries, and if it were necessary, or rather because it is necessary, I would say here: that decade which followed the fall of Machado is not so far off. Perhaps one of the worst evils in that struggle was the proliferation of revolutionary groups which soon destroyed each other, and as a result what happened was that Batista came and was left master of the revolution in Cuba. When the 26 July Movement was organized, and even when we undertook this war, I believed that if indeed the sacrifices we were making were very great and the struggle would be very long (and it only lasted two years), they were for us but a step, two years of hard combat from the time we began the struggle again with a handful of men until the time we reached the capital of the republic -- despite the sacrifices which lay ahead, I was comforted by one idea, that the 26 July Movement would have popular support and sympathy. It was obvious that the 26 July movement had the support of the Cuban young people. It seemed that this time a great and strong organization would take up the concerns of our people. I think that everything went well for us from the very first, with a single revolutionary organization -- ours or any other, that of 36, 27 or 50, whichever. Because when all is said and done it was the same men, those of us who fought in the Sierra Maestra or in the Hscambray or in Pinar del Rio, and we were the same men, all of us supported a single ideal and revolutionary organization. Ours was simply the first, that which waged the first battle at the Moncada Barracks, that which disembarked from the "Granma" in the month of December and which fought alone for more than a year against the tyranny, when we had no more than 12 men holding high the ban etc., until we came to show that this was not the struggle, that it must be different. We had to invent tactics in so doing, and it was we who had to lead the struggle effectively to the achievement of its ideal, and I want the people to tell my honestly if this is or is not the truth. There is,-moreover, another question. The 26 July Movement was a majority movement. Isn't this true? And how did the struggle end? When the tyranny fell, we had taken all of Oriente, Camaguey, almost all of Las Villas, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio. The struggle ended with the forces which had reached Las Villas, because we rebels had in command Major Camilo Cienfuegos and Major Guevara in Las Villas. On 1 January, because of Cantillo's betrayal, Camilo Cienfuegos had orders to advance on the capital and attack Columbia, and Major Ernesto Guevara in Las Villas also had orders to advance on the capital and seize La Cabana, and every military fortress of any importance fell to the rebels. And finally, it was our efforts, experience and organization which enabled us to win. Does this mean that the others did not fight? No! Does this mean that the others were not worthy? No! Because we all fought as the people fought. In Havana there were no mountain battles, but hundreds were killed. In Havana there were no mountain battles, but the general strike was a decisive factor in making the triumph of the revolution complete. In stating this, the only proper thing is to put things in their place. The overall effect of the movement in the struggle was not here and not there exclusively. It was the product of the joint efforts of all. Someone should write an article entitled "Against Everything," explaining the strategy which this revolution developed and which culminated with the 26 July triumph and the overwhelming defeat of the tyrant's forces, which surrendered to the forces of the rebel Army. Not only did this serve the ends of the 26 July forces, but it also taught how it is necessary to deal with the enemy in war, because this was perhaps the first revolution in the world in which no prisoner of war was murdered, no wounded soldier abandoned, no man tortured, because this was the conduct maintained by the Rebel Army, and, moreover, this was the only revolution in the world which did not produce a single general. Not one, because the rank I took for myself, which my comrades assigned me, was that of Major, and I have not changed it, although we have won many battles. i still want to be a major. And there was a moral result which promotions will not produce, because our highest rank is that of major, although there are more than one can count. To judge from appearances, I believe that the people approve of the way we fought, and because I have fought as I have for citizens' rights, I take for myself the right to speak the truth even if it hurts, and also because we are defending the interests of the fatherland, and will not compromise with the threats which may hang over the Cuban revolution. Although others have the same moral authority as I to speak, I would say that they nonetheless have less merit, as I believe that for men to have equal prerogatives, they must earn them in practice, against negative moral conditions, they must prove worthy of merit. I believe that the revolution has been completed, now that Major Cienfueges, after a month and several days of battle, is in command in Columbia, now that Alnejeiras, who has lost three brothers in this war, is chief of police and now that Major Ernesto Guevara, who landed with the "Granma" and is a veteran of two years and one month of battle in the highest and most rugged mountains of Cuba, is in command of La cabana, and now that we have placed in charge of the various regiments in the different provinces the men who have sacrificed and fought the most in this revolution. If this is the case, no one has the right to challenge them. We must honor merit, because those who do not are but ambitious creatures, those who do not honor the merits of others, who challenge them, seek to deceive in order to assume their prerogatives. Now the republic and the revolution are entering a new phase. Would it be just for ambition or egotism to threaten the destiny of the revolution here? What serves the interests of the people? Because it is the people to whom it is of interest to avoid this danger. Our freedoms, the rights they have won, peace, inner interest? Because currently the people have all the freedoms, all the rights, and all the pace they have wanted. Does an honest government serve the interests of the people? Is it not an honest government which serves the interests of the people? Well, today they have one. In the President of the Republic we have an honorable official. Does honest and open army leadership serve the interests of the people? Well, today they have it. What is important to the people here is that their leaders be honest men, not just anyone. What matters here is that those appointed have these qualities, for haphazard appointees are not worth anything to the people of Cuba. Has any of our appointees tried to cover the country with blood? Has any of our ministers covered the country with blood and disturbed the peace of this nation? If the team of leaders the present government has does not prove worthy, the people have the right to out them, not to approve them, I mean in elections, because when everyone knows that they are not worthy, this is the final recourse: elections. We have finished forever here with coups d'etat. We must make this clear so that demagogy and confusion will not arise, and with the first evidence of ambition to appear, we must be merciless. Nor my part, I tell you that the only thing to heed is the people, and the people have all the armed columns. This is because in order to wage a free revolution we called upon the people, because by talking with the people it is possible to avoid bloodshed and it is necessary to call upon the people, so that they can help to resolve the problems. I who have profound faith in the people and believe I have shown this, tell you that the people want to be counted on this country, but for public opinion to make itself felt, it is necessary to have extraordinary strength. In an era of dictatorship, public opinion is nothing, but in an era of freedom, it is everything and the official authorities must express their views to the republic. They must speak to the people, because always, by this means, by speaking wisely with the people, the revolution can avoid many threats. And I tell you that these treats are not so great, because it should not be necessary to shed more Cuban blood to consolidate the revolution. I must say that we are working to consolidate this revolution, because otherwise it would not exist, nor would I have been speaking here before this vast crowd. I could not have spoken thus when we were a group of 12 men, when all we had was the duty to fight, to struggle and to win merit in the eyes of the people. But now that we have heavy guns, weapons, a navy and tremendous strength of a military nature, and in the people, our great concern must be not to fight, because there is no merit in fighting thus, because to fight now with tanks, heavy guns, etc., has no merit. What I ask of the people in order to combat all ambition is their cooperation in condemning the ambitious, in order to eliminate any emerging ambition from hereon. I am not going to make an attack of a personal and specific nature, because the triumph is too recent to permit embarking on polemics. However, when the time comes to do so, I am ready, because I have moral authority enough to do this (applause). And this is because I believe in the mass of the fighters, in the majority of the men, and I cite as an example Carlos Prio Socarras, who told me that he wanted to contribute to the revolution, without any personal aspirations, that is to say, unconditionally, and he proved this by protesting not at all, by never expressing the slightest objection or complaint to the cabinet. And I have found the same readiness in other organizations -- those of combatants, men who fought and struggled, and the other organizations must have the feeling of the free revolutionaries who have always thought of the welfare of the people. And I am certain that if anyone were to come to combat civil revolution in Cuba they should do so very carefully, because all they would achieve would be the desertion of all the combatants from their ranks, because they would not follow them. One would have to be mad to challenge the reason, the right, the peace and the history of Cuba. I say all this because I want to ask the people a question the answer to which interests me greatly. Why are they amassing weapons secretly now? Why are they smuggling weapons in currently? I tell you that currently there are members of revolutionary organizations who are stockpiling weapons and smuggling them. All of the rebel army weapons are in the barracks, and no one has taken them home. They are in the barracks under lock and key! This is true in Pinar del Rio, just as it is in Havana, Matanzas, Camaguey and Oriente, because these weapons should now be in the barracks. And I will give you this warning: I am prepared to do whatever I have to do to resolve this problem with the help of public opinion, and I want to count on the strength of the people alone to safeguard the weapons. I suggest that these revolutionaries abandon the false positions into which they are slipping and get back in tune with the freedoms and peace of the people. Weapons for what? To fight against whom? Against the revolutionary government, which has popular support? Weapons for what? To fight against the revolution? Is Urrutia the same as Batista? Now there is no censorship, the press is free and you can be sure that censorship will not be reestablished, ever. Today there is no torture, assassination or dictatorship. Today there is only happiness. All of the leaders are organizing their trade union organizations, all of the rights of the citizens have been reestablished. Weapons! What for? To blackmail the President of the Republic? To threaten peace? So that we can watch gangsterism and daily skirmishes flourish? Weapons for what? Well, I say to you that two days ago, members of a certain organization entered the San Antonio barracks, which was under the command of Camilo Cienfueges and myself, as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and took 500 machine guns and other weapons. And I honestly hope that they have not decided to engage in any other provocation, because to violate what has been achieved like this is knavery. If they were seeking provocations, what they lacked was not guns but only men of the people to support them. Because the combatants with true ideals are capable of fixing the responsibility for this deed with those who have none, and so we have remained calm, and no one fears that we are going to become dictators. He who does not have the people with him, he who is not in the right, has no strength, and we have seen such human and total affection in the hearts of the people because we have never acted in such a way as rudely to impose ourselves where we were not wanted, because we have won and produced something in waging this struggle against the people and we do not need force because on the day that the people look with disfavor upon us -- only this -- we will leave, because we regard this task as a sacrifice, not pleasure. We are working honestly, because it will bring us nothing personally, and the people will never see me granting privileges to anyone, nor committing injustices, nor plundering nor abusing, because we regard the exercise of authority as a sacrifice, and we believe that if it were not thus, if it were not for the demonstration of affection received from the people, the least we could do would be to withdraw and retire, particularly since it is a duty, and if it were not for this duty, what I would do would be to say goodbye and take with me the gift of the love which I have won in the hearts of the people, and wait for them to call upon me in the same words as they have done today. The tasks which duty imposes upon us not represent a difficult path full of dangers. And there is also another reason force does not interest us, because on the day someone rises up to use force here I will make bold to call him an enemy. I will tell him to take that force, and again I would depart, and they could see how long this lasted. I believe that these are reasons enough to show everyone that ... The President of the Republic has appointed me commander-in-chief of all the air, land and sea forces in the republic. This is not an honor I have earned, because to me it represents a sacrifice, and so I am not proud or thankful for it, and I want the people to tell me I should assume this duty. I believe that if I created an army with only 12 men and if I commanded a military force which never abandoned a wounded man, nor harmed a prisoner, we are the men who should command the forces of the republic, filling the armed institutes with men not a one of whom has ever struck, tortured or killed a prisoner, and moreover, we can serve as a bridge between the revolution and the military. Because these soldiers will have the duty of continuing to belong to the armed forces, and I also say that those who have murdered will never save anyone. And this is the case because all of the revolutionary combatants want to belong to the regular forces of the army of the republic, have a right to do so, since... but there are other more important problems to resolve. The doors will be open to all the revolutionary fighters, because they have fought and produced good for the country. And if they have confidence in the country, in the government, if the doors are open to all, what reason is there to stock weapons? I want the people to tell me if they want peace, or a kind of war. I want to be told if the people agree that each has a right to his own private army, in order to promote discord, if we can have peace in the republic this way. And these are the problems I have sought to control, so that the guns could disappear from the streets as soon as possible, because when we are not confronted by the enemy, there is no need to fight anyone, and if one day it is necessary to do so, because they come to oppose the revolution, it will not be just a few who will fight, but all. No one has a right to have a private army. These elements have been seen engaging in suspicious maneuvers. Perhaps they have taken the pretext that I have been appointed commander of the army, and they have talked of a political army. Is this a political army? That which has the support of the people? And I want to tell the people and the mothers of Cuba that I will resolve all problems without shedding a drop of blood. I tell the mothers that they will never, because of us, have to weep. I want to ask the people, all responsible men, to help us to resolve these problems and when we are threatened with an action... this is immoral. I say here, moreover, that we will not access to these threats, because this would be to dishonor the revolution and to compromise its success and consolidation. Let those who are not members of the regular forces of the republic return the weapons to the barracks, because there are more than enough weapons here now, and it has been proven that weapons are only needed when one has to defend the right and the people. They are not for committing misdeeds. I want to tell the people that they can be sure that the laws will be respected, because there is no egotism or partisanship here. However, on the day the people order that weapons be taken up to guarantee their law, their peace and their right, then these weapons which are under my jurisdiction will be taken up again to fulfill their duty. Let no one think that we will full into temptation, because we have too great a responsibility to prevent the shedding of a single drop of blood, so that we cannot allow ourselves to be corrupted or confuse the issues of life. Thus, let no one fear, because when our patience is exhausted, we will seek new patience, and when that is finished, we will seek still further patience. And this must be the slogan of the men who have weapons in hand, and power in their hands: they must never become so exasperated as to take up weapons. They must resign themselves to all sacrifices, except when there is an attempt to endanger the security of the law and the rights of the people. But we will make use of the weapons when the people so demand. What I want to do now is simply to warn the people of this danger, so that this revolution, which has cost us so much, can be kept pure and useful to the citizens. It is true that all peoples, after such struggles, have had others and yet more. This seems to be an exception, and would that it should even more so, because there could be no one who wants the firing of a single further shot here. I am proud of the discipline and the spirit of the people because if something really excellent has been accomplished it is the demonstration of their dignity and civic conscience. Sacrifice for such a people is well worth it. As of the present, the military battles have ended. Tomorrow we will have another day of peace like all the rest. We have become accustomed to war. For a long time, we did not know what peace was. But we must learn to work to pay the rent, the electrical bills, etc. I know that the young people are deeply imbued with the enthusiasm which will change the republic. I am certain of it, and also of the fact that there is a president who has the confidence of the people, because no danger threatens. The position of the president is established, and has now been recognized by almost all the nations in the world. Nothing can threaten him, and he has the support of the people, our support and that of the revolutionary forces. This is true support, support without revolution and without danger. For us, this step is above suspicion because we have fought without ambition and full of the greatest hopes, faith and without the slightest doubt. Thus, now we must work hard. For my part, I will do all I can to the benefit of the country. And I with all of my comrades stand with the President of the Republic and all the other Cubans. I hope that the triumph of consolidation will not be long in being achieved. I see an extraordinary spirit of cooperation in all sectors of the people, among the journalists and in all the other sectors of the country. We will make a tremendous advance. The Republic will be free of all petty politicking, vice and gambling. And now it is the Republic which will resolve all the problems... Because I am not a professional military man or an army careerist. I was a military man as short a time as possible. I am not going to engage in military war undertakings with neighboring countries, because if it is desired to fire shots, I believe that there is plenty of room here in Cuba to do so. If we do not resolve all these problems it means an incomplete revolution, because I believe that the basic problem of the Republic, following the triumph, is work, and this is the way to resolve the But this is not all, comrades. There are thousands of other things. But as you can imagine, we are not going to deal with every subject in a single evening. We are ending a long day. Although I am not tired, tomorrow morning a day of work must be begun. I promised to attend the program "With the Press" tonight and I see that it is 1:30 and I cannot go. You will have other opportunities to hear me on the radio, in the press, etc. Also we will meet in the schools, the neighborhoods and everywhere, anyone can talk with me. The demands of all will be met. The Council of Ministers is made up of great revolutionary elements. The President of the Republic chose the Prime Minister, and when he asked our cooperation, we granted it. As I have said previously, we cannot do everything in one, two or three days. Moreover, I have told the people during other ceremonies that they should not expect these ministers to know how to be ministers. These are new tasks for them. We knew nothing about war, either, nor did Che Cuevara know anything about strategy, or anything like it. He knew nothing of military matters. Why? Because he had not studied them. Possibly the same will be the case with the ministers, but I am sure that within a month, they will know more than enough. The most important thing is the desire they have to learn, to serve the people, and to do their jobs well. How will they know how to do this? Morality, honesty will teach them, because although there are no sages here, there are indeed honest men. The majority of them are members of the 26 July Movement, but if they do not serve the purpose, others, the men of 27 or 28 July, will replace them. The 26 July veterans have a right to try to serve the Republic. And this must be all for today. Really, I have said all I wanted and if there is something else, I will leave it for another time. I realize now that what I have not said is that I believe that all of the people of Havana are here today. The vast crowd gathered today, this astonishing multitude, will be seen in photographs. And I believe that the people have done too much, because this is more that we merit. I believe that never again will we see a crowd such as this, although I am sure that on such will gather again when we go to our grave, because we want to merit the gathering of such a crowd, since we will never deceive Posted by R.

In the “Joget Peran” dance, the “peran” plays a dominant role, dancing energetically besides jesting with the female dancers through his funny actions that follow the drum beats and rhythm in the original Hadrah song entitled “Om Pasa Ya Rey”. THE ‘RONGGENG PAK UNGKU’ DANCE - KEDAH This new creation was adapted from ‘Joget sepak” and named ‘Roggeng Pak Ungku”. The word ‘Ronggeng’ means to do the “joget” dance, accompanied by basic musical instruments such as the violin, drum and the gong. The word “Pak Ungku” refers to the late Y.T.M. Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj. The inspiration of the “Ronggeng Pak Ungku” dance came from one of his hobbies which was joget dancing. The “Ronggeng” was also an arts presentation by Malays long time ago. The steps and movements in this new dance have been modified yet still retain the original structure of the “Joget Sepak” dance. This dance is promoted to ensure Malay arts is not lost in modern times, and at the same time, to remember a great leader who has contributed greatly to the nation . THE ‘IKTISYAF’ DANCE – PENANG ‘Iktisyaf’ means ‘meeting ’ in Arabian. It also means the ‘meeting’ of the Ghazal Pharti, Hadrah and the Joghee Dances which are combined in this new creation. ‘Iktisyaf’ reflects the way of life of the Arabian traders who came to Malaya to trade. It is a dance based on the movements of the sailing ship and the sea waves. THE ‘CUPAK HANYUT’ DANCE – PERAK This is a new dance created from an original dance known as the “ Tarian Lenggok” from the district of Bagan Datoh, Perak. A new idea in dance choreography with injection of new elements and movements, yet still preserving the characteristics of ‘Tarian Lenggok’ (The Swaying Dance). The dance patterns combine the symbolic movement of the “cupak” (a type of measuring bowl) with swaying movements floating above water. The floor design and the positioning of the dancers are different from the original dance where the dancers dance at the same spot. Such variations make presentations more colourful. Although the original dance was a dance in the palace performed by female dancers, the choreographer tried to change this dance into a folk dance that also involve male dancers whose roles are to beat the ‘rebana’ (tambourine) during the dance. THE ‘INANG SI-KUNANG KUNANG’ DANCE - SELANGOR This year, the National Department for Culture and Arts (JKKN) of Selangor presents a newly created dance entitled the “Inang Si Kunang-Kunang Dance ” that demonstrates the theme of love in its dance movements. The dance patterns of this new creation show the graceful movements of young men and women where customs and mannerism are still preserved. What is obvious in the dance movements in “ Inang Si Kunang-kunang” is that we show the details of the fireflies’ movements. To make this dance more beautiful, the song “Hati Si Kunang-Kunang” has been composed by JKKN Selangor. THE ‘JOGET KASIH LRT’ DANCE - KUALA LUMPUR The “Joget Kasih LRT” is a new dance created with inspiration around the LRT stations in Kuala Lumpur which are always congested and busy with thousands of people who want to use this public transport. Elements of love between young men and women have been injected in this new creation to make it more attractive. The uniqueness of the “Joget Kasih LRT” is in its presentation format that uses the basic steps and movements of the joget dance, with stepping of legs and hands moving in circles to resemble the wheels of the train. The dance rhythm and steps have been modified to emphasize the storyline of ‘Joget Kasih LRT’. THE ‘RANDAI GELOMBANG CINDAI’ DANCE – NEGERI SEMBILAN The “Randai Gelombang Cindai” Dance combines the elements of the “Randai” performance and the “Cindai” which is one of the weapons used in Malay martial arts. The movements of “Randai Gelombang Cindai” are inspired from the silat (Malay martial arts) movements of hitting and attacking by using the ‘selendang’ (long scarves) or kain pelekat (sarong) . The process of cultural assimilation from Minangkabau has injected fresh elements in the aspects of performance structure, costumes, floor design and dance movements. This dance uses yellow ‘selendang’ (long scarves) as the main object that resembles the weapon “cindai”. THE ‘ASLI REKAS’ DANCE – MELAKA “Asli Rekas” is a new version of the original dance that was created and based on the song “Pai Bunga Rampai” composed by Rahmat Arshad, a local musician who has contributed to the promotion of the ‘Rebana Keras’ game in Melaka. “Rekas” is from the family of “Rebana Keras” which is a musical instrument used to accompany this dance. Usually the song is played to to rejoice in the marital union between the bride and groom on their wedding day. Danced in pairs of men and women, the dance focuses on leg movements in accordance with the beat of the ‘Rebana Keras’ ( tambourine). ‘Selendang’ ( long scarves) are used to create the dance movements implying the processes of getting to know each other, falling in love and finally to the wedding dais.

This dance is accompanied by the singing of young boys and girls, with dance music from the Ghazal Johore song with the rhythm of “inang”. The dance is danced in pairs and is created based on cultural assimilation in earlier days. The Ghazal song resembles Hindustani and Persian songs. The dance movements are adapted from the “inang” dance and the hand movements symbolize a specific movement or meaning. THE ‘KEMAHANG’ DANCE - PAHANG “Kemahang” is a type of plant which is known as taro or its scientific name “colocosia esculenta”.

The beautiful and graceful swaying dance patterns are demonstrated in this dance. THE ‘HADDAT’ DANCE - TERENGGANU “HADDAT” is a combination of two words, HADRAH and RODAT; “hadrah” is the name of the holy book where its contents are sung in the Rodat songs, whereas “rodat” is the name of the Rodat arts itself . “Haddat” combines three important elements in a rodat performance, namely dance, music and singing.

The aspect of bravery is the major element in this whole dance. The movements of getting ready to fight are used to help add effects to the story line as symbols of bravery and agility even though the journey is full of temptation and obstacles. The “ Indera Wati” Dance inserted the elements of bird movements, the silat (Malay martial arts) dance of Kelantan, Makyong, Menora, Asyik and Wayang Kulit (shadow puppetry). The concept of loyalty is included and presented to demonstrate that Petala Indera and Petala Wati obey the instruction by the state ruler and that is the climax of this performance. THE ‘MENYAK’ DANCE - SARAWAK This dance demonstrates the way of life of the Melanau ethnic group who live along the beaches in the state of Sarawak. Their daily activity is to catch fishes and also produce sago. Sago was one of the main types of food for the Melanau ethnic group in the olden days. The dance movements in this dance reflect the activities of the Melanau ethnic group, cooperating with each other to produce sago from the process of cutting down the ‘Rumbia” tree, scrapping and stepping on it to get its ingredients known as “ tepung Lemantak” until finally sago is produced. This dance also reflects the spirit of cooperation among the men and women working happily in harmony in carrying out the activity of producing sago. THE ‘ILUK SEMANDAK’ DANCE - SABAH The “Iluk Semandak” or the “Anak Dara” (Virgin) Dance from the Tidong ethnic group in the Tawau District shows their skills in dancing on plates or ‘lalai’. This dance is about the willingness of these women to become the life partners of their men. The men must try to test the women by placing the plates upside down on the floor, which is the condition. The skills and efficiency in the balancing acts of a particular woman in dancing and moving from one plate to another will win the man’s heart to make this woman his life partner. THE ‘ZAPIN RAO’ DANCE –HEADQUARTERS The “Zapin Rao” Dance is an inspiration from the song and dance of “ZAPIN RAUB” which was very well known in Raub, Pahang at one time. The dance started around 1930’s and was founded by Encik Hamzah bin Alias, an activist in the “Zapin Raub”. The “Zapin Rao” has its own uniqueness through various attractive movements , such as the dance patterns of arms akimbo and kicking legs with pride with the intention of attracting the attention of the women. The dance demonstrates the joyful atmosphere and the energetic movements of the dancers in pairs, yet still able to retain the original dance movements of the “Zapin Raub”. THE ‘INANG BATIL’ DANCE – PERLIS This dance was inspired by ‘Awang Batil’ storytellers . The dance movements are based on the “Inang” dance but have been modified to become a faster and more energetic dance. The shoulder movements and beating of the ‘batil’ (brass pot) are among the new elements in this dance. The same goes with the lyrics. The original word from “Awang Batil” is “Hey”. “Hey” is an identity of ‘Awang Batil’. The language used is the old Perlis language which is now very seldom used by the people in Perlis.

The graceful movements of the female dancers are different from that of the “Inang Melayu”. This is a result of cultural assimilation process which was believed to have been brought by Princess Hang Li Po before inter-marriages between Malays and Chinese took place. This dance was created, developed and modified and danced in pairs of men and women . The handkerchief is used as a symbol of love between the two lovers, just like in the case of Princess Hang Li Po and Sultan Mansur Shah, and Bukit Cina has since become the symbolic place for love. Note : This dance was inspired by and based on the “ Lenggang Sapu tangan” Dance (The Handkerchief Dance). THE ‘MASADEKA’ DANCE – JOHOR This is a new dance created as a folk dance.

Note : This dance was inspired by and based on the SABA arts performance. THE ‘DIKIR 3D’ DANCE – KELANTAN The dance shows the happy atmosphere of people living in Kelantan – living in harmony, co-operation and unity. The dance combines three traditional “dikir” that are found in the state of Cik Siti Wan Kembang, namely Dikir Laba, Dikir Rebana Kercing and Dikir Barat (Creative). Dikir Laba only uses a voice, followed by ”wolves’ screams” without using any musical instrument, while “Dikir Rebana Kercing” includes singing and dancing (with dancers standing) according to the beat of the music. For these two variations of Dikir, the songs are in the Persian language (Kelantan dialect). In Dikir Barat, the dancers sit cross-legged on the floor, clapping their hands and singing aloud. The similarity of these three variations of Dikir is that all have the Tukang Karut (the lead singer ) and the Awok-Awok (chorus). The Dikir 3D is given a breath of fresh air , yet retaining the important elements of the three respective Dikir. Note : This dance was inspired by and based on the Dikir Laba, Dikir Rebana Kercing and Dikir Barat (creative). THE ‘AJAT SIRAT’ DANCE- SARAWAK This dance demonstrates the happy atmosphere of the Harvest Festival (Gawai) which is celebrated by the Iban community in Sarawak. Both the men and womenfolk wear the “sirat”(hand-woven wrap textile). The “sirat” is quintessence of the Iban culture and is a symbol of pride for the Iban community. It is woven in the “pua” (traditional multi-coloured ceremonial cloth) form. This dance also shows the Iban culture that has undergone transformation. These are reflected in the dance patterns symbolizing the activities of weaving the ‘pua’, eating the ‘sireh’ (betel leaves) , performing the rituals of “mengap” and “miring” by the religious chiefs in the long houses to get blessing from the spirits of the ancestors so that the celebration of the Gawai Festival can be carried out smoothly and it also signals the commencement of the celebration. The dance choreography also shows the elements of rattan weaving in the Iban community, known locally as “pusar tepus’ which symbolizes goodwill, loyalty and unity of the Iban community. Note : This dance was inspired by the rituals in the Gawai Festival celebration of the Iban community. THE ‘SELINDANG COCOS’ DANCE – SABAH This dance was originated from the ‘Tarian Melenggok”(The Swaying Dance),one of the dances of the Cocos ethnic group in Kampung Cocos, Tawau. The dancers use the ‘selendang’ (long scarves) to symbolize kites being blown by the wind. The “Selindang Cocos” Dance is a new dance creation whereby male dancers sway the long scarves from the back. They hold on to the tips of the scarves and sway the scarves according to the dance rhythm. The female dancers complement the male dancers. There is a feeling of love created through the graceful movements of the male and female dancers, united by the long scarves held by the male dancers. Note : This dance was inspired by the ‘Tarian Melenggok’ (The Swaying Dance) of the Cocos ethnic group in Kampung Cocos, Tawau. THE ‘TINGKAH’ DANCE – HEADQUARTERS This dance is usually performed during wedding receptions of the Boyan (Bawean) community. The dancers stand in either one or two rows, while the singers and the “kompang”(a kind of tambourine) players sit at the back. The songs usually contain verses in praise of Prophet Mohammad. But in the ‘Tingkah’ Dance, new elements have been injected to suit the modern times and situation. This is more so in terms of the dance movements and the floor design. The rhythm of the songs in the form of irregular verses of traditional Malay poetry are accompanied by basic movements of the traditional ‘Kercingan’ dance and ‘Zamrah’ music which are popular in the Boyan community. Note : This dance was inspired by the “Kompang Boyan” Arts originated from the Boyan community, Bawean island.

__label__wiki	0.624534	0.624534	Literary Matters Issue 11:3 Issue 9:3 2018 Books Archive On Pleasures of the Game by Austin Allen Pleasures of the Game by Austin Allen Chipping Norton and Baltimore: Waywiser Press, 2016. Austin Allen’s first collection, the winner of the Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize, has much in it to gratify readers favoring traditional form in verse. It would most likely have appealed to Anthony Hecht, not only for its stylistic polish but for its view of the tenuousness of humanity’s hold on order and happiness in a universe not given to coddling. Order and happiness are nevertheless capable of being found, in the opinion of both poets. Hecht’s final collection was entitled The Darkness and the Light. Allen’s title, Pleasures of the Game, suggests a similar sense of balance, weighing possible enjoyments against the unyielding demands of the rule book, without which the game ceases to exist. Allen’s poems in the volume are presented in four sections, each of which bears as epigraph a stanza from Edward Fitzgerald’s translation of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. This translation, by assembling originally disparate individual quatrains into a sequence of continuous if meandering argument, offers much to ponder for students of poetic structure. Each stanza is numbered and most have an epigrammatic completeness (which may explain why generations have found the work easy to mine for quotations). Yet over the course of the sequence, certain related themes advance, recede, recur. An overall shape suggests itself, and yet remains hauntingly (tauntingly?) elusive. The same might be said of Allen’s assemblage of mostly short poems, which together achieve a more impressive degree of unity than is typically the case in a poet’s first collection. The form of Omar Khayyám’s quatrain seems to offer a further hint at Allen’s outlook and method. The stanza comprises paradox; it is at once a highly finished construction of four lines, satisfyingly complete as utterance, and yet, on the more abstract level of its rhyme scheme, it is flagrantly defective, rhyming aaxa. The third line rhymes with nothing. The first two lines might lead a reader to expect a sequence of couplets, which turns out not to be the case; the fourth line, harking back to chime with the first two, offers closure in one way while blandly ignoring the defect. The unrhymed line is an unresolved chord, a rent in the fabric, a flaw in the foundation, an eternal loose end. Considered closely (perhaps too closely), it suggests not so much imperfection, since perfection in art is impossible, but rather a persisting mystery, a question hanging unanswered in the air. This fits Omar’s (or Fitzgerald’s) view of things: an urbane, fatalistic acceptance of the world’s inscrutability, less tragic than matter-of-factly epicurean in contemplating a game in which we are pawns with at best dubious control over our moves. This is the message of the first of Allen’s aptly selected epigraphs: But leave the Wise to wrangle, and with me The Quarrel of the Universe let be: And in some corner of the Hubbub couch’d, Make Game of that which makes as much of Thee. Allen’s poems can be viewed as small mirroring facets of his book’s framing metaphor. The opening section offers poems about actual games that have their say unsparingly about human society and behavior while advancing their own figurative suggestions. Most of the views of play here are rueful or disenchanted. “Maris*” evokes the breaker of Babe Ruth’s season record of sixty home runs as plagued for life by an asterisk on his achievement, since he had a longer season than Ruth did in which to perform the feat. Maris’s asterisk is imagined as spawning a baleful snow squall: It multiplies, becomes a flurry of flakes, hardens to hail and pelts you as you run, head lowered, one blast shy of sixty-one. Litters its thistles, drives spikes through your spikes. An even grimmer offspring of the national game, “In Mudville,” travesties “Casey at the Bat” in pitiless fourteeners. The original reads as a Song of Innocence next to this, which is very much a Song of Experience: Oh, somewhere in the alleys they’ve begun another game, And the crowd still finds it thrilling, but the rules aren’t quite the same, And the layoffs at the gasworks have the watchmen carrying knives, And the mayor wakes in dreams before a council of ex-wives. More personally, and with a winning humor, the poet remembers his teenage job as a Little League umpire: “the kid behind the kid behind the mask,” who had to face angry coaches charging the plate and hurling anguished rage at a kid not much more than their kids’ age, mouths twisting, golf tans reddening at their collars. One called me “bitch.” He did it out of love. I took it for a hotdog and ten dollars. There are higher spirits, too, in “Parabolic,” which depicts a juggler “adept / at making each fumbled ball / look like part of the act,” providing a little allegory of grace, as it operates in art and emotion, in this supple lyric of twenty lines. The concept of play informs the book not only thematically but prosodically. Allen hardly ever puts a foot wrong in his use of meter, and his handling of rhyme—natural, unforced, more or less audible as needed—is a model of the kind of pleasure that comes of mastering the rules rather than being mastered by them. A number of New Formalists have preceded him in applying traditional techniques in a conversational manner to contemporary material, and I suppose that if one must chart taxonomies Allen is definitely of that lineage. (Looking back a little further, Auden can persuasively be seen as a forerunner in such playful yet exacting technique.) The original New Formalists must by now in many cases be drawing Social Security; Allen is enough younger to indicate that major aspects of their aesthetic program have found a welcome in a new generation. Attention to versification, however, goes only so far in assessing the distinctive flavor of the book. Teasing out the implications of its recurring allusion to Omar Khayyám may take us further. The Rubáiyát’s tone and outlook are tricky to emulate, since bemused skepticism can so easily curdle into facile cynicism. Fatalism is only fun up to a point, and many writers (e.g., Hardy) pass that point early on. Perhaps because he does not take himself too seriously, Allen manages not to be off-putting in his view of the human condition, even when what he depicts is dismaying or dire. Some of his darker lyrics make their points in an almost offhand way, compact and understated, yet unnerving. The dreamlike “The Floating Café” is an example of this; another is “The Closing Doors,” a sonnet that can be read as a worthy descendant of Allen Tate’s fine sonnet, “The Subway.” Both poets write of the subway in ways that infuse oppressive, mechanistic modernity with recollections of the underworlds of religion and myth. While Tate’s imposing rhetoric gives us “the iron forestries of hell,” Allen’s disarming descriptions (“Goateed musicians with guitar and drums / play you offstage, and underneath the stage”) accumulate casually, and subtly grow ominous. The sonnet’s poker-faced third line, “You make your exit when the right time comes,” assumes a memorably disturbing resonance when it recurs as the final line. In just a few cases Allen’s ingenuity wears out its welcome. Throughout most of the book, his gift is centered in the short poem. Two extended sequences, “Valentine Variations” and “Calliope,” are consistently clever, but their charm fades as they go on. Light verse, when it runs out of steam, can come to seem extremely heavy. In contrast, the light love poem “Gossip” sustains itself brilliantly over a span of fourteen rhyming quatrains composing a single sentence. You win some and you lose some, in this game as in others. As I have just noted, Allen’s most compelling pieces tend to be short. The exception to this is the seven-page poem that comprises the final section of the volume: “Tamám Shud; or Secrets in the Sand.” This poem is a masterpiece. Based on what its headnote describes as “Australia’s most famous cold case,” it imagines various scenarios in an attempt to penetrate the mystery of “ʻSomerton Man,’ found dead on Somerton Beach, Adelaide, in 1948.” Never to this day identified, either a murder victim or a suicide, perhaps a spy, the corpse resists explanation even as the third line of the Rubáiyát’s stanza, in which form the poem is expertly composed, resists formal symmetry. Fragments of narrative are embarked on and abandoned; clues are scrutinized, the most haunting of which is the scrap of paper belatedly found in one of the dead man’s pockets, bearing the words “Tamám Shud.” Persian for “It is done,” this phrase appears at the conclusion of the Rubáiyát. Even this truncated account may convey some sense of the remarkable intricacy of this nest of boxes, each of which contains only a downsized and equally unrevealing replica of itself. At one point the poet muses: how deep does this thing go? And as one delves, will one find subterranean hives of elves, long-vanished continents, the face of God, but never solve this man? Is he ourselves? Is this a station gate through which we pass like tourists, separately and yet en masse— a guise we’re all someday assigned to wear, like “wave” or “grain of sand” or “blade of grass”? The poet’s zest for play brings vivacity to the piece; his sense of mystery inspires its deeper notes. Allen’s renderings here of the enigma of existence, the indifferent beauty of nature, the certainty of mortality—all these, evident in flashes in his book’s preceding lyrics, are in grand full display in this final work. Tamám Shud indeed: It is done, and it is well done. Robert B. Shaw recently retired from Mount Holyoke College, where he was the Emily Dickinson Professor of English.

The research reveals that cyberbullying now more common than face-to-face bullying, with children also reporting a sharp rise in exposure to potentially negative forms of content such as self-harm sites and hate messages. In 2010, 16 per cent of children reported being bullied face to face, 8 per cent on the internet and 5 per cent via mobile phone. By 2013, this ratio had reversed, making cyberbullying (12 per cent) more common than face-to-face bullying (9 per cent) – most cyberbullying occurs on SNSs. Twenty-nine per cent of 11- to 16-year-olds had seen one or more of the potentially negative forms of user-generated content (UGC) asked about, with hate messages (23 per cent) being the most common, followed by self-harm sites (17 per cent). Such exposure represented a sharp increase on 2010, and was more common among teens, especially 15- to 16-year-olds. One-third of children using smartphones are also found to be not technically savvy enough to deactivate functions that could leave them at risk of displaying their personal whereabouts, paying for unwanted pop-ups, or choosing the wrong apps – with younger girls particularly lacking the skill to use their personal devices effectively. There have, however, also been successful changes in how children experience the internet, over the past few years. UK children aged 11-16 report receiving fewer sexual messages (4 per cent) than the European average (11 per cent). This represents a notable decrease since 2010 (when the figure was 12 per cent). Seventeen per cent of children aged 9-16 said that have been in contact online with someone they hadn’t previously met offline, but just 3 per cent of children said they had been to meet such a person face to face. This represents a reduction from 2010, when 27 per cent were in contact with people online that they hadn’t met face to face, and 5 per cent had met such a person offline. Seventeen per cent of UK children aged 9-16 reported seeing sexual images in the past year, online or offline – a reduction from 24 per cent in 2010. This is more common among teenagers, and girls, who are also more likely to report being upset, or even very upset by this. Professor Sonia Livingstone, lead researcher at EU Kids Online and a professor at LSE, said: “In just a few years, UK children have shifted from accessing the internet via a desktop computer to accessing it primarily via a smartphone or laptop. This demands an equally profound shift in how their internet safety is to be managed. Parental or teacher supervision is becoming ever harder and the online options open to children will only continue to grow. “Children must be educated to become competent and resilient digital citizens and this education should link technical competence in managing online interfaces with personal, social and sexual education so that children are empowered to respond constructively – with critical literacy and moral responsibility – to the online risk of harm.” Share: \| \| \| Copyright © LSE 2016 \| Page updated 25 Apr 2016 Comment on this page \| Freedom of information \| About this site \| Social media Use of this website is subject to, and implies acceptance of, its Terms of use (including Copyright and intellectual property, Privacy and data protection and Accessibility).

__label__cc	0.616538	0.383462	Ilmor quits MotoGP Ilmor has announced that it is dropping out of MotoGP until such time as sponsorship is acquired. Mario Illien has been quoted as saying: "It is very disappointing and I underestimated how difficult it is to secure backing for this particular activity. I knew it would be expensive and I’m not surprised from the cost point of view, but I’m surprised how difficult it has been to secure the right backing. We were confident and hopeful that we would get sufficient backing to go racing and that has not materialised. We need to act rather than spending a lot of money and having a problem later on. We have been thinking about this for some time, I was thinking of withdrawing before the start of the season. As time went on I was hopeful we could secure something. But at the same time we moved forward in the hope and belief that we could attract some backing. We have some backing but not sufficient to run for the whole season. We are not going to race in Jerez. Dorna is very disappointed that we are not participating but they respect and understand our decision. Without financial support it is too difficult." Apparently they will continue developing their V4 engine in the hope that racing can continue at a later date. It's such a shame that we've lost the one British race team and it highlights the problems many of the teams are having now that tobacco sponsorship has been banned in Europe. The Kenny Roberts team has been muttering that it too may have to drop out. I hope that a new generation of sponsors are found for MotoGP or things may get very difficult. I heard a theory that Michael Schumacher's retirement would free up a lot of sponsorship that would then go to other forms of motorsport as well as F1. I guess Mario Ilien has killed that one stone dead... Keeef You need big corporates for these international attraction sports. Tobacco was ideal as the brands are worldwide and the product consumable. There is very little else with the same reach. Alcohol would be a good substitute but the corporations that own the big beer brands will get better returns sponsoring localised events than massive internationals. There is, of course, also the issue with associating alcohol and riding a bike at 150 mph. Probably not the best mix. I think there should be a worldwide organisation (along the lines of NATO) that examine a brand and match it to a sport/team. The corporation then has to pump that team with money. It would be great. For motorsport you'd have a successful, innovative, fast, winning team sponsored by Apple or Google. While your team whose engine blows up every other race and vehicles always off the pace would have that big windows log on it. Obviously golf would have to be sponsored by Lloyds or some other dull banking institute. While anyone attempting to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon would be sponsored by Pfizer under the viagra brand. Cricket could have all the accountancy firms, ice hockey the arms manufacturers, Tour de France the steroid makers, the possibilities are endless. I think you're on to something with this idea, Keef. Its the way forward. Weightwatchers for Sumo wrestling? Darts would be sponsored by BUPA for the inevitable coronaries... See, who needs tobacco sponsorship? The 100m chain smoke? your lungs would be burning after that exercise. Where were you today? I sent an update for you to read. You havent been rear ending couples on lovers lane have you? Be careful Bruh, they'll do you for dogging :) Sorry Keef, I'm snowed under at work so no messenger apps for a couple of days... :( free facebook gift code generator	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17360
__label__cc	0.506161	0.493839	Around Australia & NZ About Marzena Koalas - this is a true story "Koala goes for a walk along Flinders Beach on the North-West side of Stradbroke Island (Queensland) a couple of months ago. Koalas seem fairly tame over here. Passed two sitting in she-oak trees each about 2M off the ground. Not spooked at all by the attention. Then, about half way along the beach we saw this young fellow actually running up and down the beach, and playing around the kids like a puppy. Then, he decides to go into the water for a tub! Off for a swim! Little fellow went about 20m into the sea, swam around for a good half hour fascinating onlookers, before coming back to the beach. Where he was interrogated by Constable Brian, and then released without charge. Little fellow took a while to recover from his swim. We have never heard of or seen this behaviour before: a koala who likes to "play" with humans, and swim in the ocean. Unbelievable stuff".

More information: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/fortitude-valley-facelift-complete-20140805-100knf.html#ixzz39fqCrLaL Queensland Koalas - new refugees Brisbane, Tuesday 29 July 2014 There are over 600 types of eucalypts in Australia, but koalas, Australian native animal, will only eat 40-50 varieties with only about 10 being preferred. The Eucalypt leaves are not only the source of food but also water for koalas. The koala is the only mammal, other than the Greater Glider and Ringtail Possum, which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. Since European settlement, approximately 80% of Australia's eucalypt forests have been decimated. Of the remaining 20% almost none is protected and most occurs on privately-owned land. Unfortunately, this is where the majority of koalas are already living. According to the Australian Koala Foundation, Koalas are highly territorial. The individual members of Koala society maintain their own "home range" areas. If the available habitat were to be reduced in any way, the potential for survival of each individual would also be reduced. The main causes of loss of habitat in Queensland include: landclearing, agriculture, housing, mining, forestry, factories and roads, increased disturbance by humans, injury or death from traffic injury or death from dogs and cats, effects of garden pesticides getting into waterways, increased competition for food and territory because of overcrowding, increased stress on animals, making them more susceptible to disease, bushfires. This brings me to the remarkable recent story by the Guardian Australia. It is about a koala named Timberwolf. Timberwolf was found clinging to the bottom of a car that travelled 88km North, before the Koala was discovered. The Koala and the car were from Maryborough, 255 kilometres north of Brisbane. Timberwolf was heading north. The family in the car did not know, they had a four year old Chlamydia infected koala passenger. How despaired the poor Koala had to be to try immigrating for better land, health and life, heading North, possibly to the protected forests of Sunshine Coast or even further? Staff at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital have treated the koala, naming him Timberwolf after their football team. Why was the poor koala sick? Scientists believe that the chlamydia organism has been occuring amongst koala populations for many years, and has acted as a natural population control in times of stress. The organism is harmless in populations with unlimited resources, but manifests in times of stress, such as happens when habitat is reduced. The weaker animals succumb to the disease, become sick, infertile or die, leaving the genetically stronger animals to continue breeding. Research has shown that socially stable koala populations occur only when there are favourite tree species present. Even if a selection of tree species known to be used by koalas occurs within an area, the koala population will not use it unless one or two favourite species are available. I think poor Chlamydia infected Timberwolf knew that he would die in Marybourough, if he stayed there. Timberwolf took a brave and unusual move to survive. It reminds me the story of the refugees trying to get to Australia… The question remains, will Timberwolf find his dream home, so he can survive? Will he be released into the Sunshine Coast wilderness or detained and returned to Maryborough? Your thoughts? Brisbane Under 10 minute Storm Siege Brisbane - Saturday My afternoon today was dedicated to impulse bargain hunting in my favourite hiking shop "Kathmandu". They offered up to 60% discount on winter clothes collection, perfect for current skiing season in Australia. No more driving to Fortitude Valley for the Kathmandu Winter sale for me! They have just opened a brand new Kathmandu branch in the revamped and extended Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. It is quite surprising how lavish our once humble Indooroopilly Shopping Centre has become. Marble floors, new designer shops, such as Crocs, RM Williams, Pumpkin Patch, and exciting restaurants, such as Ole Fuego (Spanish Tapas). Finding a parking spot, when going to a Brisbane shopping centre can be challenging, especially in Indooroopilly (because unlike other shopping centres, it is free!). Let me give you a tip - I go at around 3.00 pm. This is when most of the people finished their lunches and their shopping and are heading back home to prepare for a night on the town... or something else. It is not too early and not too late. No problem with parking at all. After my shopping adventure, I had to go out to get to my car and I saw an unusual, angry looking orange cloud above Mt Coot-ha... Then sudden storm dumped nearly eight millimetres of rain on Brisbane in half-an-hour. I think the most intense downpour was during my 10 minute drive back home. I usually try to slow down, when these storms happen (and they happen), as you can hardly see anything. When it's really bad, I park under cover, or follow the lights of the car in front of me. According to Brisbane Times, "at its peak, weather zone meteorologist, Drew Casper-Richardson said Brisbane copped 3.6mm in just 10 minutes, while Archerfield Airport recorded the heaviset downpour, with 5.8mm falling there in just 10 minutes".

Ashley Madison, which uses the advertising slogan “Life is short. Have an affair,” said it had been attacked and some user data was stolen. So far, though, it isn’t easy to find the exposed cheaters online. That could change soon if the hackers decide to publish the information on a public website. Brian Krebs, the blogger who first reported the breach, said the hackers were threatening to release all Ashley Madison’s customer records if the website isn’t shut down. The hackers called themselves the “Impact Team,” and the potential release includes “profiles with all the customers’ secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails.” In a statement, Avid Life Media, the parent company, said: “At this time, we have been able to secure our sites, and close the unauthorized access points. We are working with law enforcement agencies, which are investigating this criminal act.” Ashley Madison is a dating website, with one important twist: Instead of connecting eligible singles, it caters to married people interested in having an affair. The site claims to have 37 million members, and has in the past bragged about its data security. The site is an obvious target for hackers. After all, its databases have enormous potential for use in blackmail schemes. The hackers — or hacker, perhaps — appear to be upset over the company’s “full delete” service, which promises to completely erase a user’s profile, and all associated data, for a $19 fee. “Full Delete netted [Avid Life Media] $1.7 million in revenue in 2014. It’s also a complete lie,” the hackers were quoted as saying in a manifesto published by Krebs. “Users almost always pay with credit card; their purchase details are not removed as promised, and include real names and address, which is of course the most important information the users want removed.” ← The Big Data Breaches of 2014 Protecting Children from Cyber Crime → Protecting Children from Cyber Crime The Big Data Breaches of 2014 NEWMAN LIMITED Lot 1 Wailekutu, Lami.

Six U.S. Representatives from New York joined Congressman Tonko (NY-21) as an original sponsor on the bill that would affect the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, and Niagara Falls National Heritage Area. U.S. Representatives from New York signing onto the legislation as original sponsors were Eliot Engel (NY-17), Richard Hanna (NY- 24), Maurice Hinchey (NY-22), Chris Gibson (NY-20), Nan Hayworth (NY-19), and Nita Lowey (NY-18). “The heritage-rich 21st Congressional District helped write our nation’s history,” said Congressman Paul Tonko. “A sense of place stands as a persuasive tool in the very competitive sweepstakes for jobs. Business decision makers are often attracted to a region that expresses significance, including its historical fabric. Therefore, by deepening heritage awareness and understanding a sense of place we are more marketable for jobs. A more defined sense of place provides an important tool in the tool kit for economic recovery.” The National Heritage Area Program is an initiative of the Department of the Interior which relys on a public-private partnership- federal dollars are matched with an average of $5.50 in other public and private funding. &#8220Heritage areas have a proven record of fostering job creation and advancing economic, cultural, historic, environmental, and community development,&#8221 according to a prepared statement issued by the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor and Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area. &#8220In addition to creating jobs, NHAs generate valuable revenue for local governments and sustain communities through revitalization and heritage tourism.&#8221 The legislation takes a new approach to heritage areas by establishing for the first time a standardized set of criteria for the designation of new NHAs and the review of those previously authorized. &#8220Having a clearly defined structure to oversee the management of heritage areas will allow these popular public-private partnerships to better preserve the nation’s heritage and spur economic growth with minimal federal support,&#8221 the statement said. Similar proposals to reform and modernize the program had been recommended by both the Bush and Obama administrations.

It is now well established that many lectins are toxic, inflammatory, resistant to cooking and digestive enzymes and present in much of our food and sometimes cause "food poisoning." The global pattern of varying prevalence of diseases such as coeliac disease, autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, cardiovascular disease and insulin dependant diabetes mellitus, suggests that some dietary factor specific to plant foods could initiate these diseases. Of the food lectins, grain/cereal lectins, dairy lectins and legume lectins are the most common ones associated with aggravation of inflammatory and digestive diseases in the body and improvement of these diseases and/or symptoms when avoided. Recent research has suggested that these lectins may effectively serve as a vehicle allowing foreign proteins to invade our natural gut defenses and cause damage well beyond the gut, commonly in joints, brain, skin and various body glands. With continued exposure of the gut by these toxic food lectins a persistent stimulation of the body’s defense mechanism in a dysfunctional manner occurs, which manifests as an autoimmune disease. If the lectins in diet are causative in initiating all these diseases, it should be possible to identify the responsible constituents and modify or remove them so as to make the diet healthier. Here we present a brief account of lectin toxicity research and show how these proteins have become the focus of intense interest for biologists. Receptor modification as a therapeutic approach against viral diseases Rabia Farid,,Mohammad Haroon Khan,Hamid Rashid Bioinformation , 2012, Abstract: Poliovirus causes flaccid paralysis through the destruction of motor neurons in the CNS. Susceptibility to its infection is mainly due to the interaction in between the surface capsid proteins and its receptors on the host cell surface, important for binding, penetration and other necessary events during early infection. Receptor modification is a new approach to treat viral diseases by the modification of target proteins structure. Binding domains are modified in an effective way to make it difficult for the virus to recognize it. In this study, tolerant and intolerant induced mutations in the poliovirus receptor, VP1 and VP2 were identified and substituted in the seed sequence to get the modified versions. Substitutions causing changes in initial folding were short listed and further analyzed for high level folding, physiochemical properties and interactions. Highest RMSD values were observed in between the seed and the mutant K90F (3.265 ) and Q130W (3.270 ) respectively. The proposed substitutions were found to have low functional impact and thus can be further tested and validated by the experimental researchers. Interactions analyses proved most of the substitutions having decreased affinity for both the VP1 and VP2 and thus are of significant importance against poliovirus. This study will play an important role for bridging computational biology to other fields of applied biology and also will provide an insight to develop resistance against viral diseases. It is also expected that same approach can also be applicable against other viruses like HCV, HIV and other in near future Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of a lectin isolated and purified from Indigofera heterantha [PDF] Sakeena Qadir, Ishfak Hussain Wani, Shaista Rafiq, Showkat Ahmad Ganie, Akbar Masood, Rabia Hamid Advances in Bioscience and Biotechnology (ABB) , 2013, DOI: 10.4236/abb.2013.411133 Indigofera heterantha commonly called indigo bush is a member of leguminoseae family found in the Himalayan region of Kashmir. A lectin has been isolated from the seeds of Indigofera heterantha by the purification procedure involving anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose followed by gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G 100. Molecular characterization of the lectin was done by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. Activity of the lectin was checked by hemagglutination assay and the sugar specificity by sugar inhibition tests. The antimicrobial activity of the purified lectin was carried out by Agar disc diffusion using appropriate standards. On the ion exchange column, the bound protein when eluted with 0-0.5 M NaCl gradient emerged as three peaks—peak I, peak II and peak III out of which only peak II showed the hemagglutinating activity. The lectin further resolved into two peaks G1 and G2 on gel filtration, with the lectin activity residing in G1, corresponding to a molecular weight of 70 KDa. The purified lectin named as Indigofera heterantha Lectin (IHL) produced a single band on SDS PAGE (18 KDa), revealing the tetrameric nature of the lectin. It agglutinated human erythrocytes (A, B, AB, and O). Hemagglutination was inhibited by D-galactose, Dmannose and D-arabinose. The lectin is reasonably thermostable showing full activity within a temperature range of 30°C to 90°C. pH stability of the lectin falls in the range of 2-9. IHL demonstrated a remarkable antibacterial activity against the pathogenic bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis. IHL also inhibited the growth Comparison of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Thyroid Scan in Solitary Thyroid Nodule Rabia Basharat,Mulazim Hussain Bukhari,Shahzad Saeed,Tahira Hamid Pathology Research International , 2011, DOI: 10.4061/2011/754041 Abstract: Objective. This was a comparative study between FNAC and thyroid scan used to diagnose the solitary thyroid nodule and histopathology was used as gold standard to compare the results of both modalities. We hypothesized that Fine needle aspiration cytology and thyroid scan diagnose solitary thyroid nodule (STN) as accurately as histopathology. Materials and Methods. This study comprised of 50 patients with solitary thyroid nodules (STN) presented to OPD. After clinical examination these patients were referred to Centre for Nuclear Medicine, Mayo Hospital Lahore for thyroid function tests and thyroid scan (TS). These patients underwent FNAC in the department of Pathology and surgery in Mayo Hospital. The cases were operated and evaluated for histopathological changes. Results. On thyroid scan, 40 patients (80%) having cold nodule were labeled as suspicious 10 patients (20%) had hot nodule. On FNAC 23 patients (46%) had benign lesion, 22 patients (44%) had indeterminate lesion and 5 patients (10%) had malignant lesions. On histopathology, 45 patients (90%) were confirmed to have benign lesions and 5 patients (10%), malignant lesions. After comparison of results of thyroid scan and FNAC with histopathology, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of thyroid scan were 80%, 20%, 10%, 90% and 26%, respectively whereas those of FNAC were 80%, 97.7%, 80%, 97.7% and 96%, respectively. Conclusion. Fine needle aspiration was a significantly better predictor of malignancy than thyroid scan and resulted in a smaller proportion of excisions for benign nodules. 1. Introduction Thyroid nodular (TN) lesions are a common clinical problem in the world. These are more common in women and in areas of iodine deficiency. Exposure to ionizing radiation in childhood and adolescence increases the risk of solitary thyroid nodule and thyroid carcinoma. In the United States, 4 to 7% of the adult population has a palpable thyroid nodule [1]. A solitary thyroid nodule is a palpable swelling in thyroid gland that has otherwise a normal appearance [2]. The majority of thyroid nodules are asymptomatic and only about 5 percent of all palpable nodules are found to be malignant. A variety of tests have been employed to separate benign from malignant thyroid nodules [2, 3]. These tests include isotope scanning and fine needle aspiration cytology. Combined use of isotope scanning, fine needle aspiration cytology, and histopathology of thyroid offers the best diagnostic strategy [4]. Isotope scanning was generally used to Role of Knowledge in Supporting Growth across Indian States: A Co-Integration and Causality Approach [PDF] Arindam Banik, Rabia Khatun Modern Economy (ME) , 2012, DOI: 10.4236/me.2012.33045 Abstract: This paper uses cointegration and vector error-correction models to analyse the causal relationship between education and development across select Indian states using annual data from 1980-81 to 2008-09. Expenditure on education per capita is used as the proxy for education, while State domestic product per capita is the proxy for development. The empirical results provide some evidence of bi-directional causality in Indian States such as Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. There is also evidence of causation running from per capita expenditure on education to per capita State domestic product in either the short or long run in states such as Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Punjab, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab. Thus, there is some indication that the observed positive correlation across states between expenditure on education and growth reflects primarily the influence of government effective intervention in the education sector. The Role of Morphology and Short Vowelization in Reading Morphological Complex Words in Arabic: Evidence for the Domination of the Morpheme/Root-Based Theory in Reading Arabic [PDF] Salim Abu-Rabia Creative Education (CE) , 2012, DOI: 10.4236/ce.2012.34074 Abstract: This study investigated the reading accuracy of 59 adult highly skilled native Arabic readers in reading morphological complex Arabic words in 6 reading conditions: Isolated words with short vowelization, isolated words without short vowelization, sentences with roots with short vowelization, sentences with roots without short vowelization, sentences without priming roots with short vowelization and sentences without priming roots without short vowelization. The results indicated that roots and short vowelization were good facilitators for these adults highly skilled readers in their reading accuracy of morphological complex Arabic words. The results are discussed in the light of the role of roots as autonomous semantic entities and that the complex morphology of Arabic needs short vowelization for accuracy in reading. Ethno-Botanic Treatments for Paralysis (Falij) in the Middle East [PDF] Aref Abu-Rabia Chinese Medicine (CM) , 2012, DOI: 10.4236/cm.2012.34025 The goal of this paper is to describe beliefs and treatments for specific forms of Paralysis (falij) and other nervous disorders in the Middle East. Themes to be investigated include, the traditional medicinal practices used to treat Paralysis, as well as their curative methods using traditional herbal medicine. This paper is based on first and secondary sources; interviews with traditional healers, as well as patients who suffered from these disorders. The author found 152 plants species belonging to 58 families (see Appendix) that treat paralysis and other nervous disorders. The most significant plants species are found in the six families of herbs: Labiatae, Compositae, Umbelliferae, Papilionaceae, Liliaceae, and Solanaceae. Key Plants in Fighting Cancer in the Middle East [PDF] Aref Abu- Rabia Abstract: This article is derived from a broader study of ethno-botany, medical anthropology and alternative medicine in Middle Eastern countries, which has been conducted during the past two decades. It presents examples of different edible and medicinal plants and their uses by different communities (urban, peasant and Bedouin) in the treatment of diseases and various medical disorders. Alongside, the article reviews current knowledge concerning plants and cancer prevention and treatment. The article shows that people of these countries use various parts of the plant in a host of manners-fresh and soft, cooked or dried, as both food and medicine. These plants—part of the natural fauna of the Middle Eastern countries—grow in the wild and are cultivated. The author found that the most significant plants used were in the following families: Compositae, Gramineae, Labiatae, Lamiaceae, Liliaceae, Malvaceae, Oleaceae, Ranunculaceae, Umbelliferae, and Urticaceae. Penitence, Confession, and the Power of Submission in Late Medieval Women's Religious Communities Rabia Gregory Religions , 2012, DOI: 10.3390/rel3030646 Abstract: This article argues that depictions of penance and confession in late medieval "Sisterbooks," which were written by women religious for communal use, show that medieval women understood religious authority to be enhanced through submission and service to community members. These collections of the lives and reminiscences of deceased sisters and father confessors construct idealized piety and religious authority through public acts of obedience and submission which built a reputation for sanctity, not just for the individual penitent, but for her entire community. Thus in the Sisterbooks, obedience to a confessor or spiritual director for both male and female penitents shifts the locus of spiritual authority from the confessor to the penitent and her community through communal observation and evaluation. These medieval Christian women understood the relationships between confessors and confessants as one which conferred power and authority to the penitent, complicating Foucault's influential claim that the sacrament of confession granted all power to the confessor who heard sins in secret. In the Sisterbooks, interactions between women religious and their confessors are depicted as relational, complex, and constantly in flux.

__label__wiki	0.897614	0.897614	Titel Fernsehtuner mit verminderter Abschwächung des ZF-Videosignalpegels in bezug auf eine Erhöhung der Umgebungstemperatur Anmelder Alps Electric Co., Ltd., Tokio/Tokyo, JP Erfinder Yamamoto, Masaki, Ota-ku, Tokyo 145, JP Vertreter derzeit kein Vertreter bestellt Sprache des Dokument EN IPC-Hauptklasse H03J 3/04 Beschreibung[en] The present invention relates to a television tuner. A conventional television tuner will be described by referring to Figs. 5 and 6. A television tuner comprises: a frequency converter 31 for frequency converting a received television signal to an intermediate frequency signal (hereinbelow, abbreviated as an IF signal) and outputting the IF signal; an intermediate frequency tuning circuit (hereinbelow, abbreviated as an IF tuning circuit) 32 for passing the IF signal outputted from the frequency converter 31; and an intermediate frequency amplifier 33 for amplifying the IF signal and outputting the amplified IF signal. First, a television signal received by an antenna (not shown) is amplified by an amplifier (not shown) and the amplified signal is supplied to the frequency converter 31. The frequency converter 31 has first and second output terminals 31a and 31b and, although not shown, a voltage controlled oscillator and a mixer. In the mixer, an oscillation signal outputted from the voltage controlled oscillator is mixed with the television signal, thereby performing the frequency conversion and obtaining an IF signal. The IF signals are outputted from the first and second output terminals 31a and 31b in a balanced state. For example, in a television tuner complied with a domestic specification, a sound intermediate frequency SIF is 54.25 MHz, a color intermediate frequency CIF is 55.17 MHz and a picture intermediate frequency PIF is 58.75 MHz. The IF tuning circuit 32 has a capacitor 32a and a tuning coil 32b. The capacitor 32a and the tuning coil 32b are connected in parallel. One end of the tuning coil 32b is connected to the first output terminal 31a of the frequency converter 31 and the other end of the tuning coil 32b is connected to the second output terminal 31b of the frequency converter 31. A tuning frequency f0 of the IF tuning circuit 32 is set so as to be almost a center frequency (57 MHz in the domestic specification) between the picture intermediate frequency PIF and the color intermediate frequency CIF. The intermediate frequency amplifier 33 is connected to both ends of the tuning coil 32b via coupling capacitors 34 and 35. The IF signals outputted from the frequency converter 31 pass through the IF tuning circuit 32 and are supplied to the intermediate frequency amplifier 33 in a balanced state. The IF signals are amplified and outputted. As shown by a solid line in Fig. 6, the level of the IF signal outputted from the IF tuning circuit 32 becomes the maximum value (point A) at the tuning frequency f0. An output characteristic drawing a curve of the level of the IF signal, which is gradually lowered as the frequency becomes higher or lower than the tuning frequency f0 is obtained. The level of the picture intermediate frequency PIF is lower than that at the tuning frequency f0 (point B). Similarly, the level of each of the color intermediate frequency CIF and the sound intermediate frequency SIF is lower than that at the tuning frequency f0 (points C and D). For example, transistors (not shown) are used for the mixer of the frequency converter 31 and an amplifier (not shown) provided at the front stage of the frequency converter 31. Generally, the gain of the transistor decreases when the ambient temperature rises. In the output characteristic of the IF signal of the frequency converter 31, as shown by a broken line in Fig. 6, the gain decreases as a whole. Consequently, as shown by broken lines in Fig. 6, the levels of the sound intermediate frequency signal SIF and the picture intermediate frequency signal PIF decrease from the points D and B to points D' and B', respectively. Especially, the decrease in the level of the picture intermediate frequency signal PIF causes a problem such that the S/N ratio of an image displayed on a display of a television deteriorates. The invention intends to solve the problem and its object is to suppress attenuation of the level of a picture intermediate frequency PIF when the ambient temperature rises. In order to solve the problem, according to the invention, there is provided a television tuner comprising: a frequency converter for frequency converting a received television signal into an intermediate frequency signal and outputting the intermediate frequency signal; and an intermediate frequency tuning circuit for passing the intermediate frequency signal, wherein a tuning frequency of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit is changed to a higher value in association with a rise in the ambient temperature. According to the television tuner of the invention, the intermediate frequency tuning circuit has at least a capacitor and a coil, and a capacitor having a negative temperature characteristic is used as the capacitor. According to the television tuner of the invention, when the tuning frequency of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit is set to an almost center frequency between a picture intermediate frequency and a color intermediate frequency of the television signal at a specific temperature in an ordinary temperature range, the tuning frequency when the ambient temperature rises by 25 °C is set to be higher than the frequency which is the almost center between the picture intermediate frequency and the color intermediate frequency of the television signal and lower than the picture intermediate frequency. Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a circuit diagram of a television tuner of the invention. Fig. 2 is a graph showing output characteristics of an intermediate frequency tuning circuit in the television tuner of the invention. Fig. 3 is a circuit diagram showing another embodiment of the television tuner of the invention. Fig. 5 is a circuit diagram of a conventional television tuner. Fig. 6 is a graph showing output characteristics of an intermediate frequency tuning circuit in the conventional television tuner. A television tuner of the invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 1 is a circuit diagram of the television tuner of the invention. Fig. 2 is a graph of an output characteristic of an intermediate frequency tuning circuit of the television tuner of the invention. Figs. 3 and 4 are circuit diagrams of another embodiment of the television tuner of the invention. The television tuner of the invention comprises a frequency converter 1 for frequency converting a television signal to an intermediate frequency (hereinbelow, abbreviated as an IF signal) and outputting the IF signal, an intermediate frequency tuning circuit (hereinbelow, abbreviated as an IF tuning circuit) 2 for passing the IF signal outputted from the frequency converter 1, and an intermediate frequency amplifier 3 for amplifying the IF signal and outputting the amplified IF signal. First, a television signal received by an antenna (not shown) is amplified by an amplifier (not shown) and the amplified signal is supplied to the frequency converter 1. The frequency converter 1 has first and second output terminals 1a and 1b and, although not shown, a voltage controlled oscillator and a mixer. In the mixer, an oscillation signal outputted from the voltage controlled oscillator is mixed with the television signal, thereby performing the frequency conversion to obtain an IF signal. The IF signals are outputted from the first and second output terminals 1a and 1b in a balanced state. For example, in a television tuner compliant with specifications for Japan, the sound intermediate frequency SIF is 54.25 MHz, the color intermediate frequency CIF is 55.17 MHz and the picture intermediate frequency PIF is 58.75 MHz. The IF tuning circuit 2 comprises a capacitor 4 having a negative temperature characteristic and a tuning coil 5. The capacitor 4 and the tuning coil 5 are connected in parallel. One end of the tuning coil 5 is connected to the first output terminal 1a of the frequency converter 1 and the other end of the tuning coil 5 is connected to the second output terminal 1b of the frequency converter 1. The temperature characteristic of the capacitor 4 is as shown by the solid line in Fig. 2. The level of the IF signal reaches the maximum value (point A) when a tuning frequency f0 of the IF tuning circuit 2 at a specific temperature (for example, 25 °C) in an ordinary temperature range (for example, 20 °C to 25 °C) is equal to almost a center frequency (57 MHz in the domestic specification) between the color intermediate frequency CIF (55.17 MHz) and the picture intermediate frequency PIF (58.75 MHZ). For example, when the temperature rises from the ordinary temperature by 25 °C, as shown by a broken line in Fig. 2, an output characteristic such that the level of the IF signal reaches the maximum value (point E) at a tuning frequency f0' of the IF tuning circuit 2 which is higher than the tuning frequency f0 at the time of the ordinary temperature and lower than the picture intermediate frequency PIF is obtained. Consequently, the tuning frequency f0' after the rise in the ambient temperature is closer to the picture intermediate frequency PIF than the tuning frequency f0. As shown in Fig. 2, the level of the IF signal becomes higher as the frequency becomes closer to the tuning frequency f0. The tuning frequency f0 becomes f0' (point E) as the ambient temperature rises and the tuning frequency f0' is closer to the picture intermediate frequency PIF. Consequently, the difference between the level of the tuning frequency f0' and the level of the picture intermediate frequency PIF is reduced as compared with that of the conventional technique, so that the attenuation of the level of the picture intermediate frequency PIF when the ambient temperature of the television tuner becomes high can be suppressed. Since the tuning frequency f0 at the specified temperature is set to be a center frequency between the color intermediate frequency CIF and the picture intermediate frequency PIF, when the level of the IF signal attenuates due to a change in temperature, it is prevented that the level of the sound intermediate frequency SIF decreases more than necessary and a sound output deteriorates. Both ends of the tuning coil 5 are connected to the intermediate frequency amplifier 3 via coupling capacitors 6 and 7. The IF signals outputted from the frequency converter 1 pass through the IF tuning circuit 2 and are supplied to the intermediate frequency amplifier 3. The IF signals are amplified by the intermediate frequency amplifier 3 and the amplified signals are outputted. Although the case where the IF signals are outputted in parallel from the frequency converter 1 has been described, the IF signals are not necessarily outputted in a balanced state from the frequency converter 1. It is also possible to connect the capacitor 4 and the tuning coil 5 in series in the intermediate frequency circuit 2 as shown in Fig. 3 or to connect the capacitor 4 and the tuning coil 5 in parallel as shown in Fig. 4. In the other configurations as well, similar effects can be produced. As described above, the television tuner of the invention comprises: the frequency converter for frequency converting a received television signal into an intermediate frequency signal and outputting the intermediate frequency signal; the intermediate frequency tuning circuit for passing the intermediate frequency signal; and the amplifier for amplifying the intermediate frequency signal and outputting the amplified signal, and the tuning frequency of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit is changed to a higher value in association with a rise in the ambient temperature. Consequently, the difference between the tuning frequency f0' and the picture intermediate frequency PIF is reduced, thereby enabling the attenuation of the level of the picture intermediate frequency PIF to be suppressed. According to the television tuner of the invention, the intermediate frequency tuning circuit has at least the capacitor having a negative temperature characteristic and the tuning coil. The intermediate frequency tuning circuit is constructed by connecting the capacitor and the tuning coil in parallel, thereby enabling the television tuner with a suppressed attenuation of the picture intermediate frequency signal PIF even when the ambient temperature rises to be provided. According to the television tuner of the invention, when the tuning frequency of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit is set to an almost center frequency between the picture intermediate frequency and the color intermediate frequency of the television signal at a specific temperature in an ordinary temperature range, the tuning frequency when the ambient temperature rises by 25 ° C is set to be higher than the frequency which is the almost center between the picture intermediate frequency and the color intermediate frequency of the television signal and lower than the picture intermediate frequency. Consequently, it can prevent that the level of the sound intermediate frequency SIF decreases more than necessary at the time of a rise in the ambient temperature and the sound output deteriorates. Anspruch[en] A television tuner comprising: a frequency converter for frequency converting a received television signal into an intermediate frequency signal and outputting the intermediate frequency signal; and an intermediate frequency tuning circuit for passing the intermediate frequency signal, wherein a tuning frequency of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit is changed to a higher value in association with a rise in the ambient temperature. A television tuner according to claim 1, wherein the intermediate frequency tuning circuit has at least a capacitor and a coil and a capacitor having a negative temperature characteristic is used as the capacitor. A television tuner according to claim 2, wherein when the tuning frequency of the intermediate frequency tuning circuit is set to an almost center frequency between a picture intermediate frequency and a color intermediate frequency of the television signal at a specific temperature in an ordinary temperature range, the tuning frequency when the ambient temperature rises by 25 °C is set to be higher than the frequency which is the almost center frequency between the picture intermediate frequency and the color intermediate frequency of the television signal and lower than the picture intermediate frequency.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17402

__label__wiki	0.752421	0.752421	Plympton-Halifax Express You are here: Home / Archives for Deborah Anderson, Express Staff South St. Halifax crash claims 25-year-old East Bridgewater man, formerly of Halifax October 20, 2016 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff Funeral services will be held Monday, Oct. 24, for Kevin Michael Reed, Jr., 25, of East Bridgewater formerly of Halifax, who died in a tragic automobile accident Sunday, Oct. 16, on South St., Halifax. The passenger in Reed’s vehicle, Michael Ambrose, was transported to South Shore Hospital. The driver of the other vehicle was Daniel Norvish of Halifax. He was transported to Brockton Hospital. The two-car accident remains under investigation, according to Chief Ted Broderick. Born in Brockton in 1991, Kevin was the first son of Kevin Reed, Sr. and Karen (Reid) Reed of Halifax, and graduated from Silver Lake High School with the Class of 2009. Kevin spent the next seven years working at the Reed HVAC business with his father and brothers. Kevin was the fiance for eight years to Violet Vargas and the future brother-in-law of Vinny Vargas of Halifax. Kevin and Violet together lived in East Bridgewater. They enjoyed concerts and trips together, with their favorite destination being Maine with family. Kevin also enjoyed watching endless Bruins and Cowboys games with his father and brothers and had many heartfelt moments fishing with his Mom, Karen. These are just some examples of the things that made Kevin the “Giant Teddy Bear” that everyone loved. In addition to his parents Kevin and Karen and his fiancé Violet, he is survived by his siblings Austin and Kyle Reed of Halifax and Paul Francis Hart, Jr., of Holbrook; his maternal grandparents, Janet Reid of East Bridgewater and the late Harry Reid; his paternal grandparents, Kenneth and Barbara Jones “love you squeaks” of East Bridgewater; his aunts and uncles, Harry and Sharon Reid of Palm Coast, FL, Kim Ferranti of Holbrook, Robert Reid of Randolph, Kristen Reid Pauze (KeKe) of Carver, Kerry Reid of East Bridgewater, John Pauze of Hanson, Brenda Ambrose of West Bridgewater, Kenneth and Susan Reed of East Bridgewater, Brent and Susan Bratti of East Bridgewater, Kenneth and Ann Jones of Abington, and Michael J. (Mikey) Forni, Jr of Halifax; his cousins, Daniel Ambrose, Jr., Michael Ambrose, Allyson Arseneau, Meghan Bratti, Emma Bratti, Haleigh Reed, Sherry Cotnoir, Harry Vangelist, Daniel Bushi, Cody Pauze, Kayla Ferranti, Macy Reid, McKenzie Pauze, Samantha Reid and Brent VonMagnus. He is also survived by many loving friends, including the “Four Quarters,” Vinny Vargas, Danny Ambrose, Paul Hart and Chief. His funeral service will be held Monday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. in the Blanchard Funeral Chapel, Plymouth St., Rte. 58 at the rotary circle, Whitman. Burial will follow in St. James Cemetery, Whitman. Visitation will be held Sunday Oct. 23, from 2 -6 p.m. Filed Under: Breaking News, News Lawsuit filed against Halifax : ZBA cited for not properly notifying Tarawood Kennel abutters The Town of Halifax Zoning Board of Appeals members and Jennifer R. Harmon, also known as Jennifer R. Choate, have been named in a lawsuit brought by neighbor Scott M. Clawson citing improper notification regarding special permit changes and increases, at the dog breeding kennel operated by Harmon, Tarawood Kennels, 7 Plymouth St., Halifax. ZBA members Robert Gaynor, Kozhaya Nessralla, Peter Parcellin, Robert Durgin, and Gerald Joy were named in the suit, not personally, but as members of the Board of Appeals. Also named is Jennifer R. Harmon, who is also known as Jennifer Choate, Tarawood Kennel owner. According to Clawson’s suit, on the many occasions since mid-2010 up to this year, the ZBA did not notify parties in interest about hearings that were scheduled to change or substantially modify the terms of the kennel license and neighbors were denied their chance to appeal or to be heard on the permit renewal. The first license application approved by the ZBA on or about July 20, 2010, was for a special permit for a kennel for the breeding or boarding of dogs at 7 Plymouth St., Halifax with conditions, according to the filing. The special permit was granted to allow “a kennel for the breeding or boarding of dogs.” The permit cited nine conditions in addition to all the rules and regulations and codes of the Town of Halifax. These conditions included no boarding of outside animals. The dogs must all be licensed to Jennifer R. Harmon. No breeding of outside animals allowed on the premises. The special permit is not transferrable. Puppies not sold within six months must be removed from the property. Only two (2) litters allowed per year per breed. Only 15 adult dogs on the property. Applicant must provide and maintain soundproofing, and dogs must stay within the property line. The applicant must license all adult dogs. The special permit in 2010 was granted based on the presentation and plans presented at the hearing. Any changes from what was presented and approved must be brought back before the Zoning Board of Appeals. The special permit also required that once the decision has been without appeal for 20 days, it be recorded with the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, or with the Assistant Registrar of the Land Court for Plymouth County, and a certified copy indicating such registry recording has been done be filed with the board. Feb. 15, 2012, Harmon (Choate) met with the Zoning Board of Appeals at Harmon’s request to revisit conditions, asking that the number of dogs be increased to 23 adult dogs and the number of litters allowed be increased to three per year per breed, in addition to the original conditions set forth in 2010. That permit will not take effect until it is registered with the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds and a receipt for that filing is at the Registry is filed with the Zoning Board of Appeals. In April, 2013, Harmon (Choate) was back before the ZBA requesting that her special permit be amended to allow up to a maximum of 50 dogs, and 26 litters of puppies, 20 litters for the German Shepherds and six litters for the Pomeranian breed. This amendment was granted May 1, 2013. In May 2014, the permit was amended to allow a maximum of 26 litters of puppies among three breeds: German shepherd, Pomeranian, and Jack Russell terrier, keeping to a maximum of 50 adult dogs on the premises. In the 2015 permit renewal application, the total number of adult dogs was still 50, and litters of puppies still at 26, although now spread between only two breeds, German shepherd and the Pomeranian. In short, in five years, the number of dogs allowed at Harmon’s (Choate’s) Tarawood kennel has grown from 15 adult dogs and two litters of puppies per year to 50 adult dogs and 26 litters of puppies. In September of this year, there was before the ZBA a revision which would allow 100 adult dogs and unlimited litters of puppies. That application has since been withdrawn, it was announced at last week’s Halifax Board of Selectmen’s meeting. Clawson alleges in his filing that concerned parties were not notified by the Zoning Board of Appeals or by Tarawood Kennels about the special permit applications or their modifications allowing as many as 50 adult dogs and 26 litters of puppies. Clawson contends that the ZBA granted Harmon’s special permits and revisions without notice to parties-in-interest and seeks to have the special permit annulled and if not annulled, to ask the court to order further relief deemed just and proper. Clawson has been before selectmen and the ZBA on many occasions with concerns of dogs barking at all hours of the day and night, seeking relief from the noise. Selectman Kim Roy has investigated the charges on behalf of the board and found noise to be substantial. At the Sept. 27 selectmen’s hearing, Choate was ordered to reduce the number of dogs in her kennel to 25 in order to help keep the noise to a minimum. Roy also found that soundproofing which has been one of the conditions of her permit since the first permit given in 2010 has not been done. Clawson, who was a member of the audience Sept. 27, appeared dissatisfied at the ruling, saying that he (and others in the area) have been waiting for something to be done for years and expected something more substantial to solve the problem. Filed Under: Featured Story, News Getting ready for the 4th Annual Ryan Benjamin Nicotri fundraiser Ticket sales are brisk, but there are still some left for the Fourth Annual Ryan Benjamin Nicotri Memorial Comedy Night Fundraiser to be held at the Upland Sportsman Club, Upland Road, Plympton.

A follow up email or letter will be sent to all attendees and supporting businesses to give an update on the how the funds are used. The following is a summary of last year’s event: The 2015 Fundraiser raised approximately $9,300 after expenses, which was used as follows: • For the Christmas holiday, we purchased 75 gift cards from Target, each worth $50.00 (total cost = $3,750). These were distributed to Plympton families in need through the Silver Lake School system, including the Elementary School, Junior High and High School. Each family receives one card for the family and one for each of their school age children. The schools work together to provide us the number of cards required as all family names are kept strictly confidential. The schools distributed the cards to these recipients so they had them before Christmas. • In June, we presented three – $1,000 scholarships through the Silver Lake Regional High School to deserving students. The baseball scholarship is available to a varsity player from any of the three towns, and the two remaining awards are for a boy and a girl from Plympton. The baseball scholarship was awarded to Jason Johndrow from Halifax, and the other two scholarships went to Sarah Cook and Peter Lavigne from Plympton. • The food drive allowed us to fill 8 boxes with nonperishable items that were donated to the food pantry at St Joseph’s Church in Kingston prior to Thanksgiving. We are very happy to provide these to the local community in Ryan’s name. This fundraiser is a place to focus our positive energy. We aim to make it a success and have it grow in the coming years in an effort to help others and keep Ryan’s memory alive. Filed Under: More News Left, News Halifax in the dog house again Tuesday night’s meeting of the Halifax Board of Selectmen went to the dogs once again, even though chief dog bark investigator Kim Roy was at a conflicting event. Town Administrator Charlie Seelig told the board that he had received another barking dog complaint from a neighbor of Tarawood Kennel on Plymouth Street. Selectmen chairman Troy Garron said the statute is clear and they would have to investigate and would have Kim Roy put on her investigative hat once again to check into the complaint. Seelig also told the board that he had received notice that a lawsuit is pending: Scott Clawson v Town of Halifax and Jennifer Choate, owner of Tarawood Kennel. Details of the filing were not available at press time, but should be innext week’s Express edition. Continuing in the doghouse, selectmen held a hearing for a dog attack on another dog. The attacking dog’s owners, Lisa and Chris Watson, and Halifax Animal Control Officer Noreen Callahan were present. The injured dog was being walked past the Watsons’ Summit Street home while leashed and the Watson’s dog, outside in its own yard with its owners, ran through the electric “invisible” fence because the battery had evidently failed. The Watsons were able to get their dog back under control. The injured dog was bleeding from a wound on its tongue; it had evidently bitten its own tongue, according to ACO Callahan. No other injuries were evident on either dog. This is the first incident with this dog, Chris Watson told selectmen. ACO Callahan told the board that her concern was making sure that the 65 pound dog was kept under control at all times when outside so that a situation such as this could not happen again. The Watsons assured the board that they would see to it. Selectmen Chairman Troy Garron told the owners that the board would send them an official letter putting them on notice that the Town of Halifax does have a leash law and enforces it. “Another failure is a concern,” ACO Callahan said. She also noted that she quarantined both dogs as a precaution, even though all shots were up to date. From COA Seelig told the board he had received two resignations: Sharon Hartz and Joy Marble, chairman and vice-chairman of the Council on Aging. Garron instructed the secretary to the board, Pam McSherry, to send a letter from the Board of Selectmen thanking them for their service to the town. Seelig also noted he had received a talent bank form from Corrie Merritt which he will pass along to the appropriate parties. Daniel Borsari came before selectmen to be sworn in as an Associate Member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. Borsari told the board that he now has the time to invest in the position and is looking forward to it. Borsari said he holds a real estate license. Garron joked that Borsari is a detail–oriented guy and has probably read the bylaws from cover to cover already. Borsari nodded and affirmed that he had. New Town Hall fragrance policy Seelig told the board that he is ready to implement the new “Fragrance Policy” for the Town Hall, asking those coming into the Town Hall to refrain from wearing strong fragrances as some people working there are sensitive to them. Seelig assured the board that there would be no “fragrance police;” it is a voluntary program and those working in Town Hall would like to make the public aware. In other business, selectmen • approved 16 additional recycling abatements, although Selectman Thomas Milias told the board that he would like a little more information about these private haulers and to be sure that they are doing what is required. Susan Johnson, Recycling Coordinator, is looking to get stronger regulations for private haulers to be sure they are doing what they should by way of recycling. • signed an addendum for Howland Disposal Service which would see a 1 1/2% increase. Millias told the board he understood that there should be a net decrease in the total. Seelig told him that while there was probably a decrease in tipping fees, there was likely an increase in other areas such as labor. • noted that the Fire Department has opened an EZPass account which would be useful in cases where FD personnel were attending seminars outside of Boston. Seelig told the board that there is no charge for the transponders and that the Town of Halifax should have transponders for several of the town’s vehicles that would go into one account for the Town. • noted that the next meetings of the Board of Selectmen will be Oct. 25 and Nov. 1. • adjourned at 8:10 p.m. Halifax heroes make save in auto inferno October 6, 2016 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff HALIFAX – Brian Jenkinson met his guardian angel last Wednesday night when the vehicle he was operating hit a tree on Thompson Street in Halifax. The vehicle erupted into flames with Brian trapped inside. Matt Savastano saw the vehicle in flames, grabbed his fire extinguisher, called 911 and went into action, dousing the flames and helping Jenkinson from the inferno, bringing him to safety. Capt. William Palma of the Halifax Fire Department, said, “It was a severe accident and his actions were truly heroic.” The Halifax Fire Department credits Savastano with likely saving Jenkinson’s life. Jenkinson was treated at a Boston trauma center. On Thursday, Captain Palma brought some t-shirts from the Halifax Fire Department to show the department’s appreciation to them for their bravery. He also brought the thanks of his department to Savastano who helped save a life. Jenkinson told his grandfater that he thought surely with his injuries and being trapped inside his truck that he would die there. But it seems that what goes around comes around and this time Savastano was able to help Two years before, Jenkinson had saved a man from drowning. This time it was his turn to be saved. Perhaps there is some cosmic justice. Plympton tax rate proposed is $18.06: Taxes to increase 2.21% over last year pending DOR certification New The FY17 real estate tax rate will not shift between resident and business properties. Plympton selectmen heard the recommendation of the Board of Assessors and agreed that to split the tax, asking Plympton’s businesses – all 19 of them – to assume a greater tax burden and the residents to assume a lesser burden, might cause businesses looking to settle in Plympton to look elsewhere. The tax rate being submitted to the Department of Revenue for certification will be $18.06 per thousand assessed valuation. This is a 2.21% increase over the FY16 tax rate of $17.67. Assistant Assessor Deb Stuart told the board that several towns near Plympton do shift the tax burden to businesses: Hanover and Middleborough have a slight 1.05% business tax assessment to a .9866% residential tax assessment. Carver has the greatest business to residential shift in the examples chosen – 1.399% business percentage to .9076 residential percentage of the tax burden. Commonwealth law allows communities to shift up to 1.5% to businesses giving relief to residential tax rate. The estimated tax levy for FY17 is $8,644,994 from a value of $478,704,690. Divide the levy by the assessed value then multiply by 1000 to compute the tax rate. Stuart told selectmen that the projected average single family home to have an assessed value for 2017 is $341,200. This is a 2.2% increase over FY2016. The projected average tax bill for the average single family home for FY 2017 is $6,613, an increase of 3.95% over FY2016. This compares to the 7.25% increase in the FY2016 average tax bill over FY2015. The CPA tax of 1.5% increases the projected total average tax bill to $64. Carver Urban Renewal Development Selectman Christine Joy reported to the board that she had attended the Carver Urban Renewal Development Committee meeting last week where access to the proposed project at the Carver/Plympton town line was among the topics discussed. Alternative 5 was introduced, which would close Montello Street to through traffic by way of a gate which could be opened in case of emergency. The plan shows a modified turn from Montello onto Park Avenue in Carver . “What was an interesting takeaway was that they were discussing acquisition of Melville property and the Cool property is going to be the primary entrance to the park. I thought that was interesting that they hadn’t acquired that property yet,” Joy told the board. The developer was in discussion with the property owners and felt confident that they would be able to come to some type of agreement to acquire the properties. They are also very cognizant of the neighbors with the orientation of the properties in the park to reduce the impact to the neighbors, with lights and noise, and to face the loading docks toward Route 44. They spoke about the different designs and Alternative 5 was favored. The feeling was that there would be too tight a left-hand turn off Montello which would prohibit truck traffic. They were going to look at an alternative to accommodate a truck which went down Montello St. in error so they could turn around. The developer mentioned the possibility of closing Montello St. to through traffic. The neighbors were very happy. The closure would be within Carver but would require Plympton to agree. Early Voting in Halifax and Plympton September 29, 2016 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff We are excited to announce that all registered voters will be able to vote before Election Day for the first time ever in Massachusetts. Early voting will begin on October 24 and continue through November 4. Prior to the enactment of this new law, the only way a registered voter was allowed to vote prior to Election Day was through absentee voting. Although absentee voting will still be available for registered voters who qualify, only those who will be absent from their city or town on Election Day, or have a disability that prevents them from going to the polls, or have a religious belief preventing the same, are legally allowed to vote by absentee ballot. Unlike absentee voting, early voting is for every registered voter. Registered voters do not need an excuse or reason to vote early. Regardless of whether a voter wants to take advantage of early voting, vote absentee or vote on Election Day, the first step is making sure you are registered. To check to see if you are registered to vote, and to find information on how to register to vote, you may visit the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website: www.sec.state.ma.us/ele. If you need to register to vote, you may do it online by visiting: www.RegisterToVoteMA.com. All you need is a license or an I.D. issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles to apply online. To be eligible to vote in the November 8th State Election, you must register to vote or make any necessary changes to your voter registration by October 19th, 2016. Early voting can be done in person or by mail. In Plympton, early voting can be done in person at the Plympton Town House, 5 Palmer Road, Plympton, during the following dates and times : First week: Monday-Oct. 24 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday – Oct. 25 – Oct. 27 Second week: Tuesday through Thursday – Nov.1 – Nov.3 Also, registered voters have the option to request an early voting ballot through the mail. Simply fill out an application and mail it to Town Clerk, Town of Plympton, 5 Palmer Road, Plympton, MA 02367. You can find the application on the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele. In Halifax, early voting can be done in person at the Town Clerk’s Office during the following dates and times: regular office hours (Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.) and on Friday, November 4th from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Also, registered voters have the option to request an early voting ballot through the mail. Simply fill out an application and mail it to Town Clerk’s Office, 499 Plymouth Street, Halifax, MA 02338. You can find the application on the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele. Please note, however, once a voter has cast an early voting ballot, the voter may no longer vote at the polls on Election Day. For the first time in Massachusetts, the first choice all voters will make is which day to vote. Early voting will make the most fundamental right of our citizens more convenient than ever to exercise. We encourage all of our citizens to exercise that right and take advantage of the opportunity to vote on their schedules. Standing room only at Water Forum HALIFAX — Area residents filled the Great Hall of the Halifax Town Hall for a Water in Distress forum sponsored by Rep. Thomas J. Calter, D-Kingston, and Rep. Josh S. Cutler, D-Duxbury, Saturday, Sept. 24. The standing-room-only crowd came to hear the many facets of the water situation, with Cathy Drinan, health agent for Halifax and Plympton, also representing the Monponsett Pond Watershed Association; Marianne Moore, Executive Secretary of the Monponsett Watershed Association; Jack O’Leary of Plympton, Chairman of the newly activated Central Plymouth County Water Commission, and Pine DuBois, Executive Chairman of the Jones River Watershed Association. Calter began with an overview of the emergency legislation during a drought in 1964 that allowed Brockton to increase the level of Silver Lake, which has supplied Brockton with water since 1899. To do this, West Monponsett Lake would be dammed at Stump Brook, its natural outfall to the Taunton River, to force the water to flow backwards, through East Monponsett Lake, then to Silver Lake. This unnatural flow appears to be a major component in the stagnation of West Monponsett and the algae bloom of toxic cyanobacteria. Coupled with the huge increases in water demand by Brockton over the five decades since 1964, damage to West Monponsett Lake may be nearing irreversible, he said Calter said he wanted to bring together people who know the science behind the situation so a solution can be found. Two Brockton city councilors also attended to learn about the concerns of Halifax, Hanson, and Pembroke citizens. Calter introduced Councilor at-Large Winthrop Farwell, Jr., and Ward 6 Councilor John Lally as friends of the negotiations. Cutler, whose district includes Pembroke and Hanson told the assembly, we are all neighbors. “We want to find a solution we can all live with,” he said. Health Agent Cathy Drinan cited the the measures that the Town of Halifax has taken to reduce phosphates in West Monponsett Pond which feed the cyanobacteria. Septic systems within 100 feet of the Lake must undergo complete Title V certification each year, cranberry growers have reduced the amount of fertilizer applied to the bogs when runoff goes into the lake; for cranberry growers to fertilize their bogs when the sluice gate is open to allow runoff to flow back to the Taunton River and not into the West Pond. Drinan outlined the grants she and the town of Halifax have applied for and received to treat West Pond with alum to bind with the phosphates and make them unusable as food for the toxic bacteria. DEP this year recommended a heavy alum treatment that will cost more than $400,000. The City of Brockton would need to contribute to the cost in order to make that happen, Drinan told the group. Marianne Moore, who lives on the shores of East Monponsett Pond, is the executive secretary of the Monponsett Watershed Association, asked those present to become more active and aware, because even a small number of people can be heard, and legislators were very cooperative and eager to hear and help. “Until four years ago, I had lived my busy little life – why would these legislators want to listen to me?” Moore said. “We reached out to them and they came to us — these four little people from Halifax. I believe the problem can be fixed. I hope you all will become a little more active, more aware, of the active issues and try to keep moving the issue forward.” Jack O’Leary, Chairman of the Central Plymouth County Water District Commission formed in 1964 encompasses eight communities: Brockton, East Bridgewater, Whitman, Hanson, Pembroke, Kingston, Halifax, and Plympton, to preserve the pre-existing recreational uses of the ponds … hunting, fishing, swimming, boating. O’Leary has educated himself on the dangers of cyanobacteria and their toxicity. “What they are,” O’Leary said, “are single celled organisms mid-way between plant and animal.” They have some chlorophyll in them so they react to sunlight by blooming and they are present everywhere, in every pond. It’s when they “bloom” and grow uncontrollably, and reach cell counts above 70,000 cells per milliliter, that they reach what the DEP considers to be toxic or harmful to humans. O’Leary told the audience that stagnant water is a prime factor in cyanobacteria bloom. He furthered that taking too much water from the ponds and reversing the flow of water from West Monponsett Pond leaves many areas in West Pond virtually stagnant, encouraging the algae bloom. If Brockton reduced its dependency on Halifax and Pembroke ponds by using other methods available to them, such as the Aquaria desalinization plant in Dartmouth, the ponds could be helped back to health. “Our commission is answerable to all of our communities,” O’Leary said, and is working to protect the ponds. As far as the health affects of the toxic bacteria, it can cause rash where it touches the skin. He also told that he has read about cows that died after being allowed to drink water laden with cyanobacteria. There is also a new potential health affect – it appears that in communities that live around ponds with cyanobacteria infestation some long-term health affects are appearing due to the algae becoming airborne, “which only makes it more urgent that we address this problem.” Pine DuBois from Kingston, Executive Director of the Jones River Watershed Association, said what we are trying to accomplish is to make people aware of the dangers of diverting too much water. Silver Lake today is 5 feet down. “As the lakeshore shrinks, the area with water in it is smaller. It is supported by groundwater wells. It’s not infinite; it’s limited. You can collapse those wells.” As you drain water, the natural well springs collapse and they are gone for good, she explained. “What we do to the environment day to day, matters to the people who come after us. So we really want to straighten out this problem,” DuBois said. “As I’ve explained to my friends over there from City Hall, Brockton does not have the ability to divert 30 million gallons a day from Monponsett Pond anymore. They simply can’t. If the DEP allows them to do that, they will not be living up to its obligation to protect the people of the Commonwealth and the environment.” The drought is predicted to continue. “So what can we do about it? We cannot, nor should we, divert from Monponsett Pond or Furnace Pond into Silver Lake,” DuBois said. “Since 1964, there are so many more people living in this area, it’s not sustainable for them to be Brockton’s water supply any longer.” Brockton spent an enormous amount of time, energy, and money – as did the rest of the Commonwealth – developing the Aquaria desalinization plant 20 miles south of Brockton on the Taunton River estuary. From June 15 to Aug. 15, Brockton took 4 million gallons of water a day from Aquaria, then stopped. “In my humble opinion, they should be taking that 365 days a year,” DuBois said. “Four million gallons a day would reduce the take from Silver Lake. They take 10 million gallons a day each and every day from Silver Lake.” In 1909 it was less than 2 million. By 1955 it was 4 million. By 1964 it was almost 5 million. By 1981 it became 18 million. The issue was lack of attention to infrastructure, DuBois explained. The pipes are over 100 years old — and leaking Brockton had 30,000 people then and now, 116 years later, a city of a hundred thousand people cannot count on drawing its water from these ponds. “Brockton should be using Aquaria and Brockton should be working to tie into the MWRA and we should be doing everything in our power to help them do that,” she said, to a large round of applause. Silver Lake, to support this effort, can give Brockton a couple of million gallons a day, she said. Not much more than that. “You can’t take 30 million gallons a day from a six square mile resource and expect to sustain your population. I believe that the City of Brockton needs to reassess their finances to save their water resource. They need to use Aquaria and in the long run it would not be more expensive than using Silver Lake.” She stressed Brockton should also be working toward getting onto the MWRA involved. “Not a little bit in, but all in,” DuBois said. “Let’s start working on that now.” Choate must reduce dogs to 25 HALIFAX – Selectmen Tuesday night ordered Jennifer Choate, owner of Tarawood Kennels, 7 Plymouth St., Halifax, to reduce her adult dog population from the 50 she is now licensed for to 25 adult dogs on the premises. Selectman Kim Roy, who was charged by her board to investigate the numerous complaints from neighbors about excessive barking, spoke for more than an hour about the history of complaints to the board, the first from 2010 and the remedial steps which were promised and never completed through Tuesday of this week. Roy said that she and Animal Control Officer Noreen Callahan made an official visit to Tarawood Kennel on Tuesday, the day of the hearing, to see if progress had been made on noise abatement, and to count the number of dogs present. ACO Callahan found it difficult to get an accurate count as the dogs weren’t tagged individually. When asked how many dogs were present, Choate replied she wasn’t sure. When asked how many litters of puppies were on premises, she answered two. Roy opened the door to another room and found another litter. Choate appeared to have no idea how many dogs were in her kennel or kennel offices. Roy read a damning letter into the minutes of the hearing from a former Tarawood kennel manager, who swore to its truthfulness and signed it. Choate refuted its veracity. Another ongoing concern Roy had was for the condition of the crates which housed the dogs, stating that most were chewed, with sharp edges, providing potential danger to the animals. In some areas, dog enclosures were left open to the weather: sun, rain, or snow, and Ms. Choate was asked to provide some kind of shelter for them. When Roy and Callahan made their visit on Tuesday, temporary tarps had been strung over the crates to provide a sort of shelter. Soundproofing material which had been promised over the years had not yet been installed, nor had it been purchased to be installed. Selectman Tom Millias told Ms. Choate that the problems seemed to occur after she increased the number of dogs through a special permit approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals from 15 dogs to 23, and then to 50. The board was shocked to learn that she had yet another revision to her license before the ZBA asking to increase the number of dogs allowed to 100, and with an unlimited number of litters of puppies allowed! Millias said he didn’t see how she could manage that number of dogs and obviously couldn’t, with the increased complaints of neighbors. Roy played several recordings of dogs barking which she made from a neighbor’s yard at various times of the night, early morning, and during the day. “I wouldn’t want to live next door to that,” Roy said. Selectmen gave Choate 45 days to comply with the reduction order, to find homes or places for the additional dogs, and limited the number of litters of puppies she could raise to 12 per year. Selectmen Chairman Troy Garron, a known animal lover on the board, told Ms. Choate that the barking problem is hers to solve; it is not up to selectmen to tell her how to solve it. The board asked ACO Callahan to check on the progress of the reduction of dogs and report back to selectmen. Selectmen will next meet on Tuesday, Oct. 11. USDA names Plymouth County “primary natural disaster area” By Colin A. Young STATE HOUSE NEWS SERVICE STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, SEPT. 20, 2016…..Eleven of the state’s 14 counties have been deemed “primary natural disaster areas” by the United States Department of Agriculture due to substantial crop losses that began with a February deep freeze and continued though a summer marked by severe drought. Barnstable, Berkshire, Bristol, Essex, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth and Worcester counties were designated as primary natural disaster areas, the USDA said, “due to losses caused by frost and freeze that occurred from February 14 through May 4, 2016.” Farmers in those counties are eligible for low interest emergency loans from the USDA’s Farm Service Agency, the USDA said. Farmers have eight months to apply for a loan to help cover part of their losses. Farmers in Dukes, Nantucket and Suffolk counties — as well as several counties in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont — also qualify for the loan program if their farms are in counties contiguous to the primary disaster areas. A deep freeze around Valentine’s Day wiped out almost all of the state’s peach crop, farmers previously told the News Service, and the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs said Tuesday that other tree fruits were affected as well. On top of the deep freeze, Massachusetts farmers have been hit this season with an ongoing and widespread drought that’s been blamed for contributing to wild fires, an outbreak of gypsy moths, higher rates of ant infestation, smaller than usual apples, loss of crops, a shortage of cattle feed, and an elevated population of mosquitoes able to carry West Nile virus. The state earlier this month launched its own $1 million emergency loan fund to help farmers who have struggled with the impacts of the drought. “We appreciate the United States Department of Agriculture taking steps to assist farms across the Commonwealth,” Gov. Charlie Baker said in a statement. “I encourage farmers adversely impacted by this year’s extreme weather conditions to explore the USDA programs and the state’s Emergency Drought Loan Fund.” More than half of the state is experiencing an “extreme” drought, the second-most intense level of dryness on the federal government’s scale, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The 52.13 percent of Massachusetts in an extreme drought stretches from the Pioneer Valley to the Cape Cod Canal, and encompasses all of Metro Boston and northeastern Massachusetts. “This year’s weather has been a great challenge to Massachusetts farmers; first with the winter freeze and now with a severe drought,” Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton said in a statement. “Despite that, our farmers have done a remarkable job at getting high-quality, nutritious food to market, and I urge Massachusetts residents to buy local to support our hardworking farmers.” As of Aug. 19, when the application for a USDA disaster declaration was submitted, Massachusetts farmers had lost just shy of $14 million worth of crops, according to the USDA Farm Service Agency’s Massachusetts office. The same 11 Massachusetts counties are also eligible for the USDA’s Livestock Forage Disaster Program, which compensates some livestock ranchers who have suffered “grazing losses on pasture land” due to the drought, EEA said. “Our livestock and dairy industry is a significant contributor to the state’s economy, contributing over $70 million dollars annually,” Department of Agricultural Resources Commissioner John Lebeaux said in a statement. “We appreciate USDA implementing a program to address this specific sector.” Massachusetts farmers interested in applying for the USDA aid should contact their local USDA Service Center for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures, the USDA said.

But the most successful Scottish player has become a footnote in history, despite having won eight Serie A titles, four Italian Cups, the French national league and two Golden Boots. Oh, and a World Cup. No surprises for guessing that it is not one our esteemed male players. Rose Reilly is her name and she was a fairly nifty player from the age of seven when a Celtic scout came looking. But it was soon apparent something was amiss. “Our coach said to the Celtic scout – ‘she’s a wee lassie.’ I was devastated, I was in tears: I could not understand why I couldn’t sign on,” said Reilly after she had retired. To be fair to the scout, Reilly was of an age where the obvious signs differentiating boys and girls had not quite blossomed. It was obvious that Reilly had skill – she scored seven times in that match alone. Ally MacLeod wished the balls she juggled were natural. “If she was a boy, I wouldn’t have any hesitation at all in signing her. She was a remarkable talent.” With no Celtic Ladies team at the time – that wouldn’t come till much later – Reilly moved to the more accommodating France initially and then to AC Milan. Her two Serie A medals there were joined by another six with various clubs including Napoli and Lecce in a 23-year career – it was all a long way from Stewarton United. The original Gregory’s Girl even won two league titles in different countries in the same year, as she explained upon her induction to the Scottish Football hall of fame. “I would play with Lecce on a Saturday afternoon and then fly to Paris to play on Sunday with Rheims. We won both championships. I was always myself, with my bag over my shoulder. Just me and the game.” Sceptics will brush this off with cynical ‘aye, but what about the quality’. It’s true that women’s football was still developing in her heyday but that shouldn’t detract from her achievements – the leagues in both France and Italy at those times were competitive and the best in the world. Furthermore, Reilly was eligible to play for Italy – despite playing 10 times for Scotland – and helped them win the unofficial World Cup in 1983, being voted best player in the Italian side, and scoring in the 3-1 win in the final against the USA in front of 90,000 fans in Beijing.

You can prevent PID if you know how to protect yourself. What is pelvic inflammatory disease? Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a clinical syndrome that results from the ascension of microorganisms from the cervix and vagina to the upper genital tract. PID can lead to infertility and permanent damage of a woman’s reproductive organs. How do women get pelvic inflammatory disease? Women develop PID when certain bacteria, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, move upward from a woman’s vagina or cervix into her reproductive organs. PID is a serious complication of some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), especially chlamydia and gonorrhea. What causes pelvic inflammatory disease? A number of different microorganisms can cause or contribute to PID. The sexually transmitted pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) have been implicated in a third to half of PID cases. However, endogenous microorganisms, including gram positive and negative anaerobic organisms and aerobic/facultative gram positive and negative rods and cocci, found at high levels in women with bacterial vaginosis, also have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PID Newer data suggest that Mycoplasma genitalium may also play a role in PID and may be associated with milder symptoms although one study failed to demonstrate a significant increase in PID following detection of M. genitalium in the lower genital tract. Because of the polymicrobial nature of PID, broad-spectrum regimens that provide adequate coverage of likely pathogens are recommended. What are the signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease? Women with PID present with a variety of clinical signs and symptoms that range from subtle and mild to severe. PID can go unrecognized by women and their health care providers when the symptoms are mild. Despite lack of symptoms, histologic evidence of endometritis has been demonstrated in women with subclinical PID. When present, signs and symptoms of PID are nonspecific, so other reproductive tract illnesses and diseases of both the urinary and the gastrointestinal tracts should be considered when evaluating a sexually active woman with lower abdominal pain. Pregnancy (including ectopic pregnancy) must also be excluded, as PID can occur concurrently with pregnancy. When symptoms are present, the most common symptoms of PID are Mild pelvic pain Increased vaginal discharge Irregular menstrual bleeding Fever (>38° C) Pain with intercourse Painful and frequent urination Abdominal tenderness Pelvic organ tenderness Uterine tenderness Adnexal tenderness Cervical motion tenderness What are the complications of pelvic inflammatory disease?Complications of PID include Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) Tubal factor infertility Recurrent episodes of PID and increased severity of tubal inflammation detected by laparoscopy are associated with greater risk of infertility following PID. However, even subclinical PID has been associated with infertility. This emphasizes the importance of following screening and treatment recommendations for chlamydia and gonorrhea to prevent PID when possible, and promptly and appropriately treating cases of PID that do occur. Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a serious short-term complication of PID that is characterized by an inflammatory mass involving the fallopian tube, ovary, and, occasionally, other adjacent pelvic organs. The microbiology of TOAs is similar to PID and the diagnosis necessitates initial hospital admission. Treatment includes broad-spectrum antibiotics with or without a drainage procedure, with surgery often reserved for patients with suspected rupture or who fail to respond to antibiotics. Women infected with HIV may be at higher risk for TOA. Mortality from PID is less than 1% and is usually secondary to rupture of a TOA or to ectopic pregnancy. How is pelvic inflammatory disease diagnosed? The wide variation in symptoms and signs associated with PID can make diagnosis challenging. No single historical, physical, or laboratory finding is both sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of PID. Clinicians should therefore maintain a low threshold for the diagnosis of PID, particularly in young, sexually active women. Criteria have been developed for the diagnosis of PID Presumptive treatment for PID should be initiated in sexually active young women and other women at risk for STDs if they are experiencing pelvic or lower abdominal pain, if no cause for the illness other than PID can be identified, and if one or more of the following minimum clinical criteria are present on pelvic examination: The requirement that all three minimum criteria be present before the initiation of empiric treatment could result in insufficient sensitivity for the diagnosis of PID. After deciding whether to initiate empiric treatment, clinicians should also consider the risk profile for STDs. More elaborate diagnostic evaluation frequently is needed because incorrect diagnosis and management of PID might cause unnecessary morbidity. For example, the presence of signs of lower-genital–tract inflammation (predominance of leukocytes in vaginal secretions, cervical exudates, or cervical friability), in addition to one of the three minimum criteria, increases the specificity of the diagnosis. One or more of the following additional criteria can be used to enhance the specificity of the minimum clinical criteria and support a diagnosis of PID: oral temperature >101°F (>38.3°C); abnormal cervical mucopurulent discharge or cervical friability; presence of abundant numbers of WBC on saline microscopy of vaginal fluid; elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate; elevated C-reactive protein; and laboratory documentation of cervical infection with N. gonorrhoeae or C. trachomatis. Most women with PID have either mucopurulent cervical discharge or evidence of WBCs on a microscopic evaluation of a saline preparation of vaginal fluid (i.e., wet prep). If the cervical discharge appears normal and no WBCs are observed on the wet prep of vaginal fluid, the diagnosis of PID is unlikely, and alternative causes of pain should be considered. A wet prep of vaginal fluid also can detect the presence of concomitant infections (e.g., BV and trichomoniasis). The most specific criteria for diagnosing PID include: endometrial biopsy with histopathologic evidence of endometritis; transvaginal sonography or magnetic resonance imaging techniques showing thickened, fluid-filled tubes with or without free pelvic fluid or tubo-ovarian complex, or Doppler studies suggesting pelvic infection (e.g., tubal hyperemia); or laparoscopic findings consistent with PID. A diagnostic evaluation that includes some of these more extensive procedures might be warranted in some cases. Endometrial biopsy is warranted in women undergoing laparoscopy who do not have visual evidence of salpingitis, because endometritis is the only sign of PID for some women. A serologic test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is also recommended. A pregnancy test should always be performed to exclude ectopic pregnancy and because PID can occur concurrently with pregnancy. When the diagnosis of PID is questionable, or when the illness is severe or not responding to therapy, further investigation may be warranted using other invasive procedures (endometrial biopsy, transvaginal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, or laparoscopy). How is pelvic inflammatory disease treated? PID is treated with broad spectrum antibiotics to cover likely pathogens. Several types of antibiotics can cure PID. Antibiotic treatment does not, however, reverse any scarring that has already been caused by the infection. For this reason, it is critical that a woman receive care immediately if she has pelvic pain or other symptoms of PID. Prompt antibiotic treatment could prevent severe damage to the reproductive organs. Recommended treatment regimens can be found in the 2015 STD Treatment Guidelines. Health care providers should emphasize to their patients that although their symptoms may go away before the infection is cured, they should finish taking all of the prescribed medicine. Additionally, a woman’s sex partner(s) should be treated to decrease the risk of re-infection, even if the partner(s) has no symptoms. Although sex partners may have no symptoms, they may still be infected with the organisms that can cause PID. In certain cases, clinicians may recommend hospitalization to treat PID. This decision should be based on the judgment of the health care provider and the use of suggested criteria found in the 2015 STD Treatment Guidelines. If a woman’s symptoms continue, or if an abscess does not resolve, surgery may be needed. What should a patient do after being diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease? A patient should abstain from sexual intercourse until she and her partner(s) have completed treatment. Female latex condoms are also an option if a woman prefers them or if her male partner chooses not to use male condoms. Women who are told they have an STD and are treated for it should notify all of their recent sex partners so they can see a health care provider and be evaluated for STDs. The diagnosis of PID provides an opportunity to educate adolescent and young women about prevention of STDs, including abstinence, consistent use of barrier methods of protection, immunization, and the importance of receiving periodic screening for STDs and HIV. How can pelvic inflammatory disease be prevented? Latex condoms may reduce the risk of PID by preventing STDs. Since STDs play a major role in PID, screening of women at risk for infection and treatment of infected women and their sex partners can help to minimize the risk of PID. Screening of young sexually active women for chlamydia has been shown to decrease the incidence of PID.12, 13 CDC recommends that providers screen the following populations for chlamydia and gonorrhea: all sexually active women younger than 25 years, as well as older women with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners, or a sex partner who has a sexually transmitted infection. What are the risk factors for developing pelvic inflammatory disease? Risk factors for PID include factors associated with STD acquisition, such as younger age, having a new or multiple sex partners, having a sex partner who has other concurrent sex partners, and inconsistent use of condoms during sex. Other factors that have been associated with PID include a history of STDs or prior PID, and vaginal douching. A small increased risk of PID associated with intrauterine device (IUD) use is primarily confined to the first three weeks after IUD insertion. Is the number of women in the United States being diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease increasing? No. Over the last decade, there have been several studies published suggesting overall declines in PID diagnosis in both hospital and ambulatory settings. While no single explanation exists for this declining trend, some have suggested that changes in sexually transmitted disease rates, increases in chlamydia screening coverage, availability of antimicrobial therapies that increase adherence to treatment, and more sensitive diagnostic technologies, could be impacting PID rates. How common is pelvic inflammatory disease in the United States? Despite declining trends, PID is a frequent and important infection that occurs among women of reproductive age. Based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 cycle, the estimated prevalence of self-reported lifetime PID was 4.4% in sexually experienced women of reproductive age (18–44 years). 15 This equates to an estimated 2.5 million women in the United States with a reported lifetime history of PID diagnosis . The prevalence was highest in women at increased risk, such as those with previous sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The significant burden of disease attributed to PID comes predominantly from the long-term reproductive sequelae of tubal infection: tubal factor infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic adhesions, which can lead to chronic pelvic pain. Our knowledge of the longitudinal outcomes for affected women who experience PID is primarily derived from data published using a Scandinavian cohort of inpatients diagnosed with PID. Data from this study indicated that those women with PID were more likely to have ectopic pregnancy (6 times increased rate), tubal factor infertility (ranging 8% after first episode to as high as 40% after three episodes) and chronic pelvic pain (18% following 1 episode). What is the economic burden of pelvic inflammatory disease in the United States? A decline in incidence of PID is also reflected in the most recent cost estimates of PID and its sequelae. Direct medical expenditures for PID and its sequelae were estimated at $1.88 billion in 199824, compared to approximately $2.7 billion estimated in 1990. Based on NHANES 2013–2014 data, an estimated 2.5 million women aged 18–44 years in the United States reported a lifetime history of PID diagnosis , with each case of PID having an estimated cost of $3,202. How can clinicians manage PID? A critical component to the outpatient management is short-term follow-up, especially in the adolescent population. Since many adolescent women rely on outpatient services for the evaluation and treatment of STD symptoms, the need for a low diagnostic and management threshold for PID is even more critical, as the likelihood for additional follow-up care is low.

Conservatives Criticize Rice Hire According to Yahoo.com, Netflix’s decision to hire Susan Rice, former U.S. national security advisor and United Nations ambassador under President Barack Obama, has caused controversy amongst conservatives. In her position directing the National Security Council, Rice provided daily briefings to President Obama on international affairs. On her watch, Susan Rice was in charge of foreign and national security policy after the 2012 attack on the United States embassy in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans. Many c0nservatives criticize Susan Rice for portraying the Benghazi attack as a spontaneous terrorist attack that happened as a result of anti-Muslim film. Furthermore, President Donald Trump alleged that Rice tried “to learn the identities of Trump associates swept up in surveillance of foreign officials by United States spy agencies.” Conservative bloggers jumped on the allegation, although Newsweek reported that there is no supporting evidence backing up that claim. Susan Rice responded to President Trump allegations by saying, “I’m not going to dignify the president’s ludicrous charge with a comment. I leaked nothing to nobody, and never have and never would.” Many conservatives were not swayed by her denials. “Netflix doubles down in support of Obama corruption—compromised Susan Rice, who lied repeatedly on both Benghazi and the unmasking issue joins its Board of Directors,” said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, a conservative foundation. According to Yahoo.com, many conservatives are threatening to cancel their Netflix subscription because of the Susan Rice appointment and the fact that the streaming giant is in talks with Obama for a production deal. On March 8, the New York Times reported, “Under terms of a proposed deal, which is not yet final, Netflix would pay Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, for exclusive content that would be available only on the streaming service… “Mr. Obama does not intend to use his Netflix shows to directly respond to President Trump or conservative critics, according to people familiar with discussions about the programming. They said the Obamas had talked about producing shows that highlight inspirational stories.” Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings released a statement on the Rice appointment, which said, “For decades, she has tackled difficult, complex global issues with intelligence, integrity and insight and we look forward to benefitting from her experience and wisdom.” Rice’s Board of Directors tenure began March 26. Also on the board with Hastings and Rice are Anne Sweeney, the former Disney-ABC Television Group president, former Netflix chief marketing officer Leslie Kilgore as well as Ann Mather, ex-CFO of Pixar and Village Roadshow Pictures. Rice is excited about her new position, calling Netflix “a cutting-edge company whose leadership, high-quality productions and unique culture” is something she admires.

__label__cc	0.518152	0.481848	‧Features Home / Features Mon, Jun 20, 2016 - Page 12　News List Physicists try for tool to predict attacks A physicist may not seem like an obvious person to study terrorist activity, but for months, Neil Johnson and his team have used a mathematical model to sift order from the chaotic pro-terrorism online universe By Pam Belluck / NY Times News Service An explosion in Kobani, Syria, during fighting between Kurdish and Islamic State fighters in October 2014. Researchers found a spike in the formation of small online groups connected to the Islamic State before the attack began in September of that year. After Orlando, Florida; San Bernardino, California; and Paris, there is new urgency to understand the signs that can precede acts of terrorism. And with the Islamic State’s prolific use of social media, terrorism experts and government agencies continually search for clues in posts and Twitter messages that appear to promote the militants’ cause. A physicist may not seem like an obvious person to study such activity. But for months, Neil Johnson, a physicist at the University of Miami, led a team that created a mathematical model to sift order from the chaotic pro-terrorism online universe. In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, Johnson and Miami colleagues searched for pro-Islamic State posts each day from mid-2014 until August of last year, mining mentions of beheadings and blood baths in multiple languages on Vkontakte, a Russia-based social media service that is the largest European equivalent to Facebook. Ultimately, they devised an equation that tries to explain the activity of Islamic State sympathizers online and might, they say, eventually help predict attacks. WORDS OF CAUTION Experts who study terrorism and online communication said that the new research was informative, and that they appreciated that the authors would make their data available to other researchers. But they cautioned that the actions of terrorist groups were extremely difficult to anticipate and said more information was needed, especially to substantiate any predictive potential of the team’s equation. “This is an interesting approach, this is a potentially valuable approach, and more research should be done on the approach,” said J.M. Berger, a fellow in George Washington University’s Program on Extremism and a co-author of ISIS: The State of Terror. “But to jump ahead to the utility of it, I think, takes more work.” Johnson, who also heads the Complexity Initiative, an interdisciplinary research program at the University of Miami, said the study’s goal was to start “a proper quantitative science of online extremism to replace the black-box narrative that is currently used.” Instead of focusing only on large social media groups or trying to track millions of individual users, the researchers suggest focusing on small, nimble groups because they reflect groundswells of new activity and, if followed, can potentially point to where that activity is going. While such tracking in itself might not prevent individual acts, like the massacre in Orlando, it can help identify when conditions are ripe for such acts to happen, the study said. CUE FROM NATURE The tracking of terrorists on social media should take a cue from nature, Johnson said, where “the way transitions happen is like a flock of birds, a school of fish.” “There’s no one fish saying, ‘Hey, I want everyone to be about 5 inches away from someone else, and we’re going to have this shape,’” he said. The study focused on small groups of Islamic State supporters that formed online and found about 200 such groups, with more than 100,000 members combined. The groups’ postings included pledges of allegiance to the extremists, fundraising appeals and survival tips, like how to protect oneself during drone attacks. The pull of small groups is strong. So-called lone wolf sympathizers do not remain alone long, the study said: They usually join a small group within weeks. Comments will be moderated. Keep comments relevant to the article. Remarks containing abusive and obscene language, personal attacks of any kind or promotion will be removed and the user banned. Final decision will be at the discretion of the Taipei Times.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0097.json.gz/line17452

These awards were announced at the Annual General Meeting 2014, held in Dunedin at the Weekend School. Life membership is awarded to people who have contributed greatly over a number of years to our organisation. They have gone well above and beyond, they have given of their time and energy over many years for the betterment of our org and all of the people nominated this year have been stalwarts of the organisation since it’s inception. It is a hard thing making choices between such worthy nominees but after a great deal of deliberation the following people are being recognised for their contribution and awarded Life Membership in 2014. Jenny Millar Jenny has been with SLANZA from the very beginning. She was on the steering committee for SLANZA for the year before it’s inception. Prior to that she was heavily involved in the School Library Network, she was the first Otago/Southland representative for SLANZA and her foresight and vision, amongst the others on that committee have formed and shaped what we have become. She continued in this role for many years. She has been a major contributor to sub committees of the National Executive, giving of her own time for years. Keeping the Otago/Southland region humming when the chairperson was based in Otago and hosting and organising Otagoites, no easy job, organising meetings, and always keeping us in the loop with what was happening at a National level. She has been a huge help to local librarians and her work promoting and reviewing books has been fantastic. Jenny is a SLANZA stalwart. She is tough, resilient and a rock to those in the school library world who need one. We heartily endorse her nomination and are most pleased and happy to reward her with this Life Membership. Rosalba Finnerty This is a person who has been one of the standing stones of SLANZA since it started. She has been involved in almost every area of librarianship over her career and not content with that has become an archivist on top. Rosalba has served her time on the National Executive, she has been involved in so many conferences and committees that it is not possible to count them. She has represented the National Executive at committees of many kinds over the years and still does this today when needed. She has retired from her position at Samuel Marsden Collegiate, and gone on to have an illustrious career in archives, both for that school and for SLANZA, her lounge playing host to a mountain of paper and digital records, she has been in this privileged position for the last two years and her dedication and thoroughness has sharpened all the NE up. Because of her we are better organised and future ready. Rosalba gives up her weekend on National Executive weekends to cater to the National executive, it is a mighty thing, she is our emergency minute taker and advisor on matters of many kinds. Her knowledge of the history of the organisation is regularly called upon. This barely covers it. She is an advisor, an ear to many, a fantastic stalwart of the Wellington committee and all round organiser of everyone and everything. It is an utter pleasure to award her Life Membership of SLANZA. Janet McFadden The nomination for Janet McFadden was fulsome in its praise for her work for, with and alongside SLANZA for many years. Janet has been one of the biggest advocates for the benefit of school librarians belonging to SLANZA, she has been a committee member of the Wellington region for many years. Janet was the first convenor of the Wellington region, as early as 2002 she was helping organise Wellington conferences and has continued to do that regularly. No conference is complete without a presentation from Janet. Her dedication to school librarians across the country, and particularly in Wellington has been always appreciated. Janet has spent her professional life working to provide a wide range of resources and skills to school library staff. Her willingness to help and support others, well beyond the realm of her role at National Library and her continued commitment to the profession of school librarianship at all levels is testament her professionalism and leadership. Janet is a hard working endless promoter of school libraries, the people who work in them and SLANZA as an organisation of value and importance to those people and for this we are incredibly grateful and are delighted to award this Life Membership. Gerri Judkins The name Gerri Judkins is one which is clearly associated with SLANZA and her dedication to SLANZA is legendary. Not only within her home district of the Waikato but amongst all those who have stood back and admired the energy, the enthusiasm and the sheer gutsy determination that kids will read, that school libraries are the places where kids get the stuff to read. Gerri is a reading and school library evangelist. Her work on the SLANZA National Executive has left lasting effects. Her understanding of the different circumstances in which school librarians work had a major influence on decisions made around the NE table. Gerri understood the world that most of us worked in, it was refreshing. Gerri is still giving presentations promoting SLANZA, the work that we do with reading in schools, promoting the Lit Quiz and being the powerhouse of energy she has always been. I think she is currently in Russia at IASL doing exactly that. Gerry is the little engine that could, could promote SLANZA endlessly, could attend meetings when others couldn't, could answer tricky questions and indeed could ask them, could use her endless supply of contacts to make stuff happen, could organise a mini-conference with almost no time and limited funding and could be the person who had read every book available so that she could promote it to her kids and sell it to a whole NE meeting. Gerri Judkins does SLANZA proud and therefore it is not a difficult decision to award her this Life Membership. We offer our sincere congratulations to these awardees. We want them to know that SLANZA has appreciated their efforts and has received enormous benefit from their work for our organisation.

__label__cc	0.516701	0.483299	Home > City Government > Media Room > 2019 News Releases > Surrey Opens New West Village Energy Centre and Park Surrey Opens New West Village Energy Centre and Park Surrey, BC – The City of Surrey officially opened its new West Village Energy Centre and Park on Thursday evening. The state-of-the-art energy centre will be an integral part in improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing more competitive energy pricing for Surrey residents and businesses in City Centre. “With the completion of the West Village Energy Centre, Surrey has taken a significant step forward in our journey to a renewable energy future,” said Mayor Doug McCallum. “Not only does the Energy Centre support the city’s carbon reduction goals, but it’s an innovative example of how we are greening the city’s developing downtown core. As City Centre continues its transformation into a vibrant, urban downtown core, we are ensuring the area will be an environmentally, sustainable urban centre.” District energy systems represent a significant opportunity for cities to move towards climate-resilient, resource-efficient and low-carbon pathways. The City decided early on that district energy utility development must be aligned with community objectives and, by owning and operating the district energy system as a municipal utility, the city would play the lead role in shaping its future. With over 55 per cent of community-wide energy consumption concentrated in the buildings sector and buildings accounting for about 35 per cent of Surrey’s total community greenhouse (GHG) emissions, Surrey City Energy sets a progressive vision for a more prosperous, cleaner and healthier City Centre powered by a growing district energy network. Surrey City Energy is key to establishing a renewable energy future for the city by: Cutting community-scale greenhouse gas emissions Generating heating and hot water more efficiently Keeping energy affordable Delivering energy security through sustainable, community-level energy solutions Transitioning to local, low-impact renewable energy sources Raising awareness of energy sustainability Although district energy as a concept isn’t new, what sets Surrey City Energy apart is its ‘systems thinking’ approach to scaling up energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. Planned as one of the largest systems in Canada, it will expand to meet projections for thermal energy demand and achieve targets for reduced greenhouse gas emissions. More energy centres, fuelled by an expanded range of renewable energy sources, will be added and the piping network expanded as heating demand increases. Over time, the district energy system will cover the entire City Centre area serving tens of thousands of households. Learn more at www.surrey.ca/cityenergy and www.surrey.ca/parks.

__label__cc	0.675797	0.324203	Changing a hard-coded password in multiple tests in Performance Tester Let's say a large number of tests that were recorded require a user ID and password to log in. At any point in time, when a password is changed, the password must be changed in all the tests. Each test can be manually edited to change the password, and this would resolve the issue. However, this process is tedious and time-consuming. Also, if the password needs to be changed later, then it would require editing all of the tests again. So, here’s a better way to handle this. Step 1 - Create a datapool This functionality has been around for a long time. The first step is to add a datapool, which is done in the Test Details section of the test. Performance Tester will use the name of the test as the name of this datapool. Complete the required options in the dialog box and let the datapool have one column with an entry, "password". Here's the resulting datapool. Step 2 - Substitute an existing hard-coded password with the datapool value The easiest way to find an existing password is to do a test search on the HTTP Requests POST content. So, right-click the top node of the test and select Test Search. Enter the value of the old password as the text to search for. Then press the Search button. The Search function will show all matches in POST content that have the old password value. Since most tests will only have one login request, we will usually find one match. Double-click the result in the Search results pane and it'll directly show the POST content of the request that contains the password. Right-click the password and choose Substitute > Select Data Source... Select the "password" variable of the datapool that we just created and complete the required options in the dialog box and save the test. Step 3 - Save the test and create a data correlation rules file Click Yes when the following prompt appears. Provide a name to the rules file, and then complete the required options in the dialog box. For example, the rules file is called UpdatePasswords. Step 4 - Edit the datapool When the datapool is automatically created, it is created with a name, number of columns, header, and one row. However, the value of the datapool variable is null. We need to set it to the value of the new password. Simply edit the datapool and add the new password value as shown in the following screenshot. Step 5 - Apply the data correlation rules to the remaining tests So far, we updated the password in a single test. The upcoming password updates are made easier by mapping the old password value to a datapool value. We need not do a test search and change the password in the test. We need not even edit the test. We just need to add the new password value as shown in step 4. This process is a bit tedious and we have other tests that need their passwords changed. So, instead of repeating the manual steps, we can apply the data correlation rules file that we made earlier to the remaining tests. Performance Tester will do all the hard work for us! So, the next step is to select all the remaining tests and right-click and choose Apply data correlation rules... Click Add to add the rule that we made in step 3, and then click Finish. In mere moments, Performance Tester makes all the changes to these remaining tests that we did manually on the test we used in steps 1 through 3. Let's look at a random test for a sanity check: Here's our datapool and it's “Used by 1”. This means it’s substituted in the test 1 time. Click the + sign and expand the Column node and double-click Substituter. Performance Tester will get on to the place in the test where this substitution will take place. Let's see if it's the right place. There it is! We see the text "oldpassword" highlighted in green, which means it'll be substituted at a runtime with the datapool value. We just saw how using data correlation rules in HCL OneTest Performance makes it easy to maintain tests. Going forward, to change the passwords for all the tests, we just need to edit a single row in a single datapool. If you haven't used a rules file before, this is a good first use case and hope you find it useful. Paul Liskay Senior Test Manager Paul Liskay joined the Rational team in 2009.

There exists three races; Emil (human race), Titania (angels), and Dominion (demons). In relation to our understanding of the worlds Titania is above the world of Acronia, while Dominion is below it. In the distant future, civilization completely depleted the earth’s valuable resources. In its search for new resources, worlds which were never meant to be connected were bridged. Complete chaos ensued between the three races. Humans entered into the heavens and underworlds, realms never meant for them. From the aftermath of chaos was the emergence of a new history. There was a great effort to rebuild and regroup as each race reclaimed their rightful spot in the world. The artistic style of ECO is heavily influenced by Japanese anime style.

Donaldson > The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant books The One Tree Cover of The One Tree Stephen R. Donaldson Darrell K. Sweet The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Fantasy novel Print (Hardback & Paperback) ISBN 0-345-34869-9 (USA paperback) The Wounded Land White Gold Wielder The One Tree is the second book of the second trilogy of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever fantasy series written by Stephen R. Donaldson. It is followed by White Gold Wielder. This book differs from the others in the First and Second Chronicles, in that the story takes place outside of the Land, but still in the same world. Following the vision he received in the prior novel, Thomas Covenant has resolved to find a solution to the problem of the destruction of the Staff of Law, the result of which has been the corruption of the Land's natural beauty by the curse of the Sunbane. He is accompanied by Linden Avery, a physician from his own "real" world, and four Haruchai bodyguards. Their means of travel from the Land is a ship crewed by the Giants, a benevolent, sea-faring people from a distant region of the Earth. The journey is made more difficult by Covenant's continuing relapses into sickness caused by the venomous bite of a Sunbane-spawned monster: the venom leaves Covenant prone to uncontrollable outbursts of power-madness, the wild magic unleashed by his white gold ring posing an imminent danger to those around him. Linden, who in this world is endowed with a kind of clairvoyance, is frustrated by her inability to help him. From the Land, the Giant-ship sails to the home of the Elohim, a race of beings who are known to possess supreme wisdom. Linden perceives that the Elohim are in fact the embodiment of Earthpower, the energy field which binds this universe together. Despite their seeming omnipotence, the Elohim are bound by a strange code of behavior, and provide no direct help to the quest, other than showing the Giants the location of the One Tree, from which the Staff of Law was fashioned. This knowledge was hidden in Covenant's mind by the Forestal Caer-Caveral (Hile Troy), but Covenant lacked the means to reveal it. In the course of rendering this service, the Elohim cause Covenant to go into a catatonic state - "don't touch me" is all he can say. Leaving the Elohim, the travelers find that one of the Elohim, named Findail, has joined them aboard the Giants' ship, for purposes which he declines to reveal. The group is not pleased at this uninvited companion but are powerless to make him leave. After suffering severe damage in a storm, in which Findail refuses to help, the ship arrives at the port city of the Bhrathair, a militaristic - but also wealthy and civilized - people living at the edge of a great desert. The Bhrathair are ruled by the gaddhi, Rant Absolain, but it is discovered that the true ruler is a wizard named Kasreyn of the Gyre. Kasreyn abducts Covenant, who is still in a catatonic state, and attempts to use his powers to compel Covenant to give his ring to Kasreyn. The attempt is thwarted when the Haruchai are able to break into Kasreyn's laboratory, and Kasreyn is discovered to have a parasitic being, a croyel, living on his back and providing him with extended longevity. Findail destroys this croyel. The ship is repaired, but two of the Haruchai guards lose their lives one at the hands of a Sandgorgon (a monster indigenous to the desert) and one killed by a "Hustin"(a creature of the gaddhi's guard). Linden is able to break Covenant's catatonia to thwart an attempt to take his ring from him. The ship narrowly escapes from the port, and further travel eventually brings the group to the island where the One Tree is located. Brinn, Covenant's Haruchai bodyguard, sacrifices himself in a duel with the Tree's Guardian ak-Haru Kenaustin Ardenol (himself a figure from Haruchai mythology who represents their idea of the perfect warrior), and is then regenerated as the new Guardian and leads the party to the Tree itself. The giant Worm of the World's End sleeps beneath the One Tree, and taking wood will wake it, triggering the end of the world. When Covenant attempts to take a piece of The One Tree using his power of wild magic, he is stopped by Cable Seadreamer, the mute giant. When Seadreamer makes the attempt himself, he is killed, activating the "aura" which serves the Tree as a defense mechanism and disturbing the Worm. This aura triggers Covenant's power to an exponential degree. As Covenant attempts to overwhelm the aura with his power, Findail warns Linden that the Arch of Time cannot contain the struggle between the two powers and the world will be destroyed if it continues. Linden, much against her will, mentally reaches out to Covenant. Sharing his thoughts, she sees him open a passage back to the "real" world and attempts to return her to it. She senses, however, that in the "real" world Covenant's body is very weak (from the stab wound inflicted just before the summoning) and will die if he does not himself return. Unwilling to do this, Covenant draws Linden back through the rift between the worlds. With her help, he is able to contain his power, but at the price of the Isle of the One Tree sinking beneath the ocean as the earth heaves with the movements of the Worm of the World's End settling back from disturbance into slumber. Thus, the quest ends in failure. Glossary of terms from the Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever by Stephen R.

Aren't all Vikings blonde-haired and blue-eyed? Here are six good reasons that it makes total sense to have a black man in Thor: The Dark World. (This post is part of the Thor Love blogfest) Race isn't a major issue in the Marvel films, although two characters stand out. Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Idris Elba as Heimdall. When the Thor movie came out, there was an uproar and backlash from people claiming it was wrong to change the Thor character Heimdall from white to black. Mainly this was on racist and white supremacist websites, but some in the media picked it up as a real thing. In the end, the backlash was unfounded because as Harry from Ain't It Cool News said, "To those people who asked, 'Why cast a black man as a Viking', every scene Elba is in is [a] resounding THAT IS WHY!" He's incredible. So, to end the controversy once and for all, here are reasons why it makes sense for there to be a black man in Thor: The Dark World. 1. Vikings Visited Africa The Viking ships are renowned for their long voyages. These ships allowed the Vikings to travel as far east as Constantinople and the Volga River in Russia, as far west as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland, and as far south as Morocco. Maps of the Viking travels show them stopping in North Africa. The black African tribes were mainly in subsaharan Africa, but trade routes were common. While the Vikings were mainly traders, they would sometimes take people as soldiers, slaves or wives. Some Vikings had "jungle-fever." 2. Some Vikings Are Described as Black There's a rather controversial article at Rasta Livewire that suggests that all Vikings were black. This is based on historical descriptions of the people. I'm not going that far, but at least some of them must have been black. “The Irish annalists were a lesson to all with their division of Norse invaders into White Foreigners, Norwegians(Finn-gaill), and Black Foreigners, Danes(Dubh-gaill), but it was a lesson no one heeded; nor do we know why they distinguished them by colour.” See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by Gwyn Jones (1968) “The Welsh chroniclers, for example, made no such clear distinction. The Danes coming in by way of England and the Norwegians by way of Ireland were pretty well all black: Black Gentiles(y Kenedloed Duon), Black Norsemen(y Normanyeit Duon), Black Host, Pagans, Devils and the like.”(CONT.) See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS by Gwyn Jones(1968) “There was a man hight Thorvard; he married Freydis, a natural daughter of Erik the Red; he went [219] also with them, and Thorvald the son of Erik (100), and THORHALL who was called the hunter; he had long been with Erik, and served him as huntsman in summer and steward in winter; he was a large man, and strong, BLACK AND LIKE A GIANT, silent and foul-mouthed in his speech, and always egged on Erik to the worst” See SAGA OF THORFINN KARLSEFNI. “According to Egils Saga, of the 2 famous sons of Kveldulf, Thorolf was tall and handsome like his mothers people, but Grim took after his father was black and ugly. Grim’s sons Thorolf and Egill, born out in Iceland, repeated the pattern- Thorolf was the image of his uncle, tall, handsome and sunny-natured, and many Egill was black, even uglier than his father, totuous and incalculable,…..etc. craggy head, broad nose, heavy jaw and swart visage.” See A HISTORY OF THE VIKINGS, GWYN JONES pg 86 3. Black Asgardians Could Be Moors The Moors were the medieval Muslim inhabitants of Morocco. In the movie The Long Ships (1964) Sidney Poitier played a Moor, named Aly Mansuh, who worked with a Norse king to find a treasure. We know that the Vikings encountered the Moors, who were black. See there could be a Moor among the Vikings. 4. Lots of Actors of Color Have Played Scandinavians Changing the ethnicity of a character happens in Shakespeare all the time. In 2001, Adrian Lester played Hamlet in Paris. David Oyelowo was the first black performer in the Royal Shakespeare Company's history to be cast as Henry VI. "This is not a defining moment for black actors," Hugh Quarshie, who was the first black Hotspur on a British stage, said. "It is a lot easier to have non-traditional casting with Shakespeare. In fact, this seems only possible in the classics at all these days. The real problems for black actors come with modern plays and the cinema." There's no definitive evidence that William Shakespeare intended Othello to be black, but most productions cast a black man in the role. Director Kenneth Branagh often compared his Thor movie to Shakespeare, so why not follow the same casting rules? 5. The Asgardians Are Not Scandinavian The Asgardians are not from Scandinavia. They're from another dimension. When they showed up the people revered them as "gods." That means they aren't required to be any specific race and don't have to look anything like the blonde-haired, blue eyed people in the history books. 6. It's a Movie The most obvious reason is that it's a movie. They can have Vikings played by Latinos if they want to. The casting call for Thor: The Dark World said "any ethnicity" so there's not reason not to hire black people as Asgardians. Thor 2 wasn't the only movie to do this. In the movie The Norsemen (1978) the late Deacon Jones played an African slave named Thrall. MARVEL’S THOR: THE DARK WORLD releases in theaters on November 8, 2013!

He was horribly miscast by marvel... he needs to be a centerpiece of whatever movie he's in, not someone who's role is to play a statue most of the time. But, that said, I didn't know there if there were any black norsemen, I didn't care either, a great actor trumps everything IMO. Elba just bleeds charisma on screen. Cast him as anything you want and I'm probably going to be more interested in the project than I would be without him. Heck, he's the reason I watched Ghost Rider 2. Pat Dilloway November 5, 2013 at 6:49 AM Author A Lee Martinez told me it's fine because they're aliens. To which I suggested why aren't they blue or green or have tentacles or something? Anyway, how do you explain the Asian guy? Viking foreign exchange program? DAVID WALSTON November 5, 2013 at 8:34 AM Idris Elba....Thats my answer! We should have him kick those complaining into a pit .... "THIS IS ASGARD!" Alex J. Cavanaugh November 5, 2013 at 9:06 AM That's right - they were Scandinavian Gods, not Scandinavians. They could be any shade or color. Number six is the best answer - it's a movie, folks! Relax. Tyrean Martinson November 5, 2013 at 9:40 AM I don't know if it's good or bad, but I didn't pay any attention to Heimdall's skin color. I just thought he had a cool role. That's it. I think all of the reasons you've stated are good ones. It drives me nuts that we have to pull out historical evidence to clout people over the head with the truth of past diversity. farzanamehnaz November 5, 2013 at 10:14 AM Hello There. I found your blog the usage of msn. That is an extremely neatly written article. I?ll be sure to bookmark it and return to learn more of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I will certainly comeback. Cardsharing Server Amalia Dillin November 5, 2013 at 11:46 AM Thank you for writing this post -- it's absolutely 100% spot on. But I'd like to add this as well: why on earth does anyone feel compelled to place human limits upon the gods, at all? There are plenty of examples of shapeshifting among the Giants, and Odin is known to disguise himself through any number of means -- for all we know, their natural state was PURPLE, and even if the took on the skin tones of the people who worshipped them, you're absolutely right that it is COMPLETELY possible that the people who worshipped them were more than just white Scandinavians, BECAUSE of how widely traveled the Vikings and Norsemen were! This is one of those issues that boggles my mind. It's such a narrow interpretation of history and reality. Such a shame, and I only wish that Marvel had gone further, honestly! Thanks for being part of the blog hop!! Nisse Söderström November 6, 2013 at 3:32 AM as a scandinavian, and as an avid norse mythology enthusiast, there's a lot to be said about the accurate depiction of thor, and the asgardians in the marvel universe. A LOT. however, i am also a nerd, and have therefore always seen this (the movie as well as the comics) as marvels world and also as marvels characters. they bare some resemblance to the scandinavian myths and lore, but not much is accurate. having said that, one shall also know that not much is said in the norse mythology concerning how the different gods looked. only in cases when they have distinguishing features (odins eye or the length of the midgård snake for instance) or when they change or switch form (which they do quite a lot) you will get a hint of what they look like. it is very true that the vikings traded with african people, and africans (dark skinned people) are often described in scandinavian texts from this period, however (side note here) rather than describing them as black, norse traders saw their skin more as blue, and therefore called them "blue men" (roughly translated). they were often mentioned as cunning business men, skilled traders, and good fighters. seeing it this way it is very possible that vikings, describing the looks and characteristics of their gods described some of them as black (/blue if judged by the times). i would argue that a viking influenced by what he saw of a great african warrior, skilled especially with the bow, then would describe the god vale as black for having the same characteristics. rounding up this rant i have to say that i agree with #5 and #6 equally. msmariah November 6, 2013 at 9:12 AM I'm kinda tired of people saying things like "Laurence Fishburne shouldn't be Perry White" or "Idris Elba shouldn't be Heimdall." It's a freaking comic book, not 'Pride and Prejudice' or Shakespeare. Comics are supposed to be fantastical. There are not literal interpretations of anything. Also, considering when most of these comics were originally written (Superman in the 1930s), black people were not necessarily appearing in those comics for obvious reasons. So pre-1960s/1970s, we would essentially have all white comic book characters were it not for these tweaks in casting. America is much more diverse than it was 70 years ago. Comics should be reflections of the time. Maurice Mitchell November 6, 2013 at 11:24 AM "Repeat to yourself 'it's just a show, I should really just relax'" ;) You know they never did explain why there's a Japanese man on Asgard even in the comics Pat. These are insightful points Nisse and it's great getting the perspective of a Scandinavian, a myth fan and a fellow nerd. You might enjoy this io9 article: 8 Things Marvel got Wrong about Thor and Norse Mythology http://io9.com/8-things-marvel-got-wrong-about-thor-and-norse-mytholog-1458989921 BTW do have a blog or twitter account I can follow? You always leave great comments. Yeah, we think we're past that but, sadly, we're not Tyrean. Elba is awesome. He could be in the 300 sequel David! Great point indeed. Everyone complaining about messing up their heritage should remember that mythological characters aren't heritage. They're just stories. Great stories, but just that. Alex J. Cavanaugh November 6, 2013 at 12:18 PM Mystery Science Theater 3000!! You rock. Now I'm going to go pull one up in NetFlix... Maurice Mitchell November 6, 2013 at 12:35 PM I knew you'd get that one Alex! Tyrean Martinson November 6, 2013 at 4:22 PM Elba rocks! And I wish we were past it. thanks for the link, that was a good condensed read! its true as the article says that the odin of norse myth is far from the sophisticated anthony hopkins. one thing here that has bothered me since the start of thor is the absence of the valkyrie (and im not talking about brunnhilde). these are, to me, such an obvious addition to any mythological hero arc since of their unbiased and unstoppable nature. anyone, god and man alike, who fell in combat (einhärjare) was taken by the valkyrie to valhalla. these fierce warrior women were not to be messed with, rather something to feared more than anything, since they would pick the winners of battles. come to think of it, story arcing wonder woman as part valkyrie may actually work... hmm... *sidetracked also, here is my blog. i write mostly of social media and internet trends, but at time the raw geek slips through. enjoy! http://thesocialgnome.blogspot.se/ ST Bende November 7, 2013 at 10:47 AM I'm with Alex -- number 6 it is. Love this post, and I can't wait to see Thor2 this weekend! Which character are y'all most excited to see again? Kater November 13, 2013 at 6:27 PM People, please learn some history... they were NOT only scandinavian gods and certainly not 'viking gods'. They were germanic gods (not 'geman' but 'germanic' gods, aka gods of the several germanic tribes that existed), which means that they were known in the whole ancient germanic territory. That would be roughly todays Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, parts of Poland, parts of Austria and Switzerland. I'm so tired of swedes claiming them only for themselves... simply because it isn't true at all. ghb February 6, 2014 at 3:16 PM 1. I would not call maroccans black. More arabic looking. 2. I have been to several museums, eg. Birka, Swedish national history museum Norway national history museum etc. Nowhere is there any mention of black Vikings. But you probably know better right? 3. Do you see how point 3 and 5 contradict each other :-) You say that the asgardians are certanly not scandinavians but then why would they be moors?? Maybe you are not so "logical" as you claim. More the retarded kind of person I would guess. 4. I think when a black actor is playing for example Hamlet, it is more an interpretation of the original Shakespear story. Nobody actually think that a black prince of Denmark have existed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TMwAuWFVk4 6. True. And keep up the good fight :-) /Peace M. May 2, 2014 at 7:09 PM Imagine a film depicting the Dreamtime of Aboriginal Australia with white fellas portraying the heroes of black myths and legends. Would you then say that the indigenous people offended by this decision are overreacting because it is only a movie? Because that would serve to demonstrate that you're the culturally insensitive ones. If you can't see how offensive your own simplistic excuses are then you are as thick as a post. Plain and simple. The irony in all of this is that _you people_ are as racist as you claim your adversaries to be. Thinking it's perfectly acceptable to insult and undermine the identity and autonomy of ethnic groups by insulting their religions is in and of itself inherently imperialistic and racist. This is one of several fallacies of cultural liberalism and it evidences the intellectual shortcomings of its disciples. Maurice Mitchell May 5, 2014 at 10:13 AM Thanks for your comment M. You make an excellent point. I would never say that it’s OK to distort the religions of any people either black, white or Native American. The point of this post is that it’s possible that the people of that time saw black people on a more regular basis than people assume. I have no intention of condoning the disrespect of any religion, but you could argue that Thor has very little to do with religion since it clearly states the people in the film are not gods. gregCall July 17, 2014 at 2:10 PM While I have enjoyed the acting of Idris Elba in other movies I did find his being shoehorned into Thor offensive simply because he's only there to meet the "diversity" quota. The case of Samuel Jackson playing Nick Fury is acceptable mainly because the original character of Nick Fury wouldn't translate to modern movie audiences, Nick fury was a world war 2 250 pound cigar chomping, bearded, one eyed leader of a commando squad. So in reworking the character making him black was a no harm no foul situation. Conversely making a character black just to have a black in the film is insulting and pointless and does detract from the film. And keep in mind i do think Idris Elba is a good actor and it isn't his fault in any way, he took a part that was offered to him, the one to blame is the race conscious social engineers at the studios. Smitty November 14, 2014 at 4:57 PM Modern day North Africa is not Ancient Africa. Its like comparing modern day USA to ancient USA Well you have white characters playing historical black characters all the time. why complain about a black character playing a fictional one? sigurd September 11, 2017 at 12:04 PM Well yes. I respect Egyptian culture for example and don't think white actors should play Ra or something like that. But I expect mutual respect with my own Nordic culture then. sonny November 20, 2014 at 4:41 PM All the original Norse were black Forget everything you knew about history, the original Norse were black even the pictures on cave walls and sites show them as black. Patrick Sandoval November 30, 2014 at 2:09 PM Point #2 is silly. In that context black means darker haired or maybe even tanned skinned but not black skinned or African looking. Similar to the term black Irish. Are you seriously suggesting that the medieval pperiod Danes were black? someone January 3, 2015 at 3:21 AM Heimdallr is desribed in Thrymskvidha as being "whitest of all gods". Idris Elba is an awesome actor, but portraying Heimdallr with a black man would be like casting Tom Hanks to play Malcolm X. It has nothing to do explicitly with racism -- Heimdallr is white. You don't cast an apple to play an orange, so why cast a black man to play a white deity? >it's just a movie so was "birth of a nation". Ten March 5, 2015 at 8:09 AM Heimdal in the myth are actually described as the Whitest of Æsir. but it's a movie, so i have no problem with it amphiox April 3, 2015 at 3:24 AM There are actual historical records, records left by the Vikings themselves, of black-skinned Vikings. If you portrayed ALL the Asgardian Viking gods as black in some work of fiction, that would be one thing. But to portray one single god (or 2 or 3) out of an entire city of gods, all of the rest of whom are white, as black, is wholly historically appropriate. If a small minority of Vikings were black, as historically documented, then portraying a small minority of their pantheon of gods as black is perfectly legitimate. Jacob Tautiaga May 8, 2015 at 5:19 PM SMH The Moors were NOT black African. They were Arab/Berber. And you seriously used that joke of a website? No peer reviewed journals or anything? You might as well have used Wikipedia. You also contradicted yourself. First you say it was ok for blacks to be cast as Vikings as they visited Africa and took slaves, soldiers and wives, along with that dodgy webpage about them being black. But then later, you point out that the Asgardians were not Scandinavian. I take no offense that the marvel Heimdal is black but starting to assume scandinavian gods as black then I migth aswell say that some Egyptian gods are white just because it is not stated that they are not. It feels like black people are trying to take away our culture when they themselves have a lot of culture that they should be proud of. 6 times BULLSHIT The REAL reason a black actor was cast is that liberals want to impose their tabula rasa religion on to the general public and they are perfectly willing to scarifies character identity and historical fact on their altar of self-righteous race hating.

Katie and Joe had treated themselves to a lavish dinner for their 1st anniversary. They had been friends since childhood and always found ways to keep themselves amused despite knowing each other for so long. Knowing that traffic was extremely likely on the normal route home, Joe decided to take the deserted long way home, through a dense forested area. After about half an hour the car slowed to a stop. Looking over at Joe, Katie knew he was being mischievous and gave him a stern look. "Come on Joe, I want to go home, don't you start" she scolded. "Aww, come on! There's nobody around" he grinned. He leant in for a kiss but Katie pushed him away, "I don't think so, this may be our anniversary but I'm not about to get it on in your car" she laughed. "Oh fine, but you owe me" he huffed, jokingly. Turning the ignition to awaken the car once more, Joe looked puzzled when nothing happened. He turned it again but still, nothing. Rollin her eyes Katie said "Come on, this has been done to death. Get on with it". "Seriously, it won't start" Joe replied, demonstrating again that the car wasn't responding. Image from flickr gorchakov.artem title: Gloomy Forest They were stranded in the middle of a wood with nowhere to go. Both checked their phones, Joe's was dead and Katie had no signal. After what seemed like an age, Joe declared that he was going to find the nearest petrol station or public phone. Getting her coat ready to go with him, Katie nodded. "No, you stay here and keep warm in the car" he said. "Are you sure?" she asked. "I'll be fine, I'm pretty sure there's a station about 30 minutes walk away" he reassured her. Agreeing to stay with the car, Katie lightly kissed her boyfriend on the lips and settled into the back seat of the car. Slightly tired, Katie decided to have a nap whilst Joe was gone. Tap, tap, tap. The distinct sound of tapping woke Katie up from her 'nap'. Looking at her watch, she discovered she had been sleeping for 3 hours. Puzzled that it had been so long without Joe returning, she peered out the window. It was night time and the density of the trees made it hard to see anything. Worried she climbed into the front seat and tried the ignition one more time, a fruitless attempt she knew but she wanted to at least try. She played a game on her phone for a little while having forgotten about how she had been woken. About 10 minutes after she began playing, the tapping noise had returned. Tap, tap, tap it went. Not knowing what could be making the noise puzzled her. Shining her phone out of the window, she saw that they were not parked underneath a tree despite the area they were in. The tapping noise came and went every few minutes. Getting quite worried, she locked the doors and stopped using her phone. 20 minutes passed before any noise returned, this time however, it was a scraping noise that she heard. This freaked her out, lying down in the seat as low as she could, she closed her eyes and prayed for the noise to cease. Knowing that something was wrong with Joe didn't help to ease her anxiety, if he had made it to a station he would have returned by now. It had been at least 5 hours since Joe had left and about 2 of enduring the strange noises around the car. She was trying to think of anything just to take her mind off the situation. The noise started up again but was interrupted with flashing lights. The light filled the car and Katie sighed in relief, Joe must have gotten help. "This is the police, stay right where you are" a loud voice sounded through the air. Puzzled, Katie wondered what on earth was going on. Unlocking her door she was greeted by a police officer looking pale. She looked around at the other officers and was immediately confused. They were all pointing guns right at her. "There must be some mistake, I've not done anything" she explained. "Just come with me, you're not in any trouble" the officer replied gently. Walking towards the cars with him he added "We're going to get you out of here but whatever you do, don't look back towards the car". Annoyed that he had said this, she looked like any normal person would. What she was greeted with made her throw up instantly on the muddy road. Right there on top of her boyfriend's car was a dirty man holding a bloody axe in one hand and her boyfriends severed head in the other. The noise through the night was him tapping on the roof with his axe. Miss Bobo 16 August 2010 at 20:44 omg!!!! For a moment I thought she was going to do the stupid thing and look outside. But looking back was expected. Thought she was going to die when I scrolled down and saw the guy with the ax. Good story Thanks :) This is one of my least favourite legends I think, it's a bit predictable but nevertheless it's an urban legend :) There is actually a version of this legend where the girl does get out of the car because she thinks that its a branch tapping on the roof so she gets out to snap it :S Okay I think this version is better. I rather not think she did the stupid thing. You welcome :) Sadako 7 September 2010 at 00:27 That is creepy, but why was the guy still on top of the car if the cops were there? Wouldn't they have shot him, or restrained him before getting her out? And why didn't he go after the girl in the car? Hmm, good point, but I like it all the same hard u r so true coz he would of like cut her with his axe and y would he be on the roof??? I really liked it and thought she would die i thought her boyfriend was going to be hanging by rope of a tree on top of the car and the tapping noise was his blood dripping on the roof and that she was going to have a look at what the sound was i was kinda close n a great story thankyou :O i'm shaking :O Good im going to try to sleep tonight..... 😨😱😵 15 July 2016 at 20:41 Omg this scared me so bad and it's night and I'm home alone vijay 31 August 2018 at 13:48 Nice blog thanks for shareing instersting information about selfdriving . i might not be able to sleep tonight Lolhorror 25 August 2019 at 21:12 The version I heard was that is wasn’t the axe tapping on the roof of the car, it was her boyfriends blood that was leaking from his dead body from a tree above the car.

__label__wiki	0.841402	0.841402	Stick To Your Guns - For What It's Worth It's been said you can't judge a book by a cover, but with the live photos that adorn the front and back of Stick To Your Guns' "For What It's Worth", most will already know what they are in for. Does hardcore with a metal slant, some call and response/gang vocals and tracks that rarely breach the 3 minute mark sound familiar? Of course there's some variations thrown in as well, but rest assured these are the pillars of which this album is built upon. With that said, "For What It's Worth" isn't the Terror/Hatebreed clone you'd expect. Instead Stick To Your Guns attempt to define themselves by heavily adopting death metal traits - and not in the usual way. For you see, while the band liberally spew out death gurgles overtop of chunky riffs and a punchy rhythm section, they avoid the hyper-technical riffing and the haunting melodies. That's not to say there isn't the odd breakdown that comes off like Vader commanding a circle pit, but generally the band strike enough of a sonic balance to ensure the tension and intensity will keep the listener alert. Whether or not the listener also stays interested is another matter unfortunately. While the music included here does have its merits and is unique enough to warrant a listen, it's also a bit simplistic structure wise. This limitation does favor the bands aggressiveness, but doesn't exactly help out their longevity. Adept musicians, but perhaps not the most gifted songwriters, Stick To Your Guns may not have the best weaponry, but they definitely have a lot of bullets. 02.

They re-released the "Director's Cut" 1992 version anamorphic & dual layer a few months ago, so I don't think that disc has much value... The Criterion Collection Spinal Tap is worth hudnreds of dollars on DVD, though... by lujho on Wed Apr 25, 2007 5:25 pm Check out this weird bit of news from Joanna Cassidy's official site: http://www.joannacassidy.com/welcome.htm "Joanna has just finished re-shooting her scenes from the original BLADE RUNNER movie. Joanna is wearing her original outfit (which she kept over from the first production). These new scenes will be part of the upcoming special BLADE RUNNER DVD re-release. Check back for more details." It'll be interesting to see how extensive this stuff is and how well it'll be integrated into the film. Perhaps some digital de-aging will be used. Perhaps he's just fixing up the scene where Zorah's obviously wearing a body stocking? But if they're shooting new stuff with one of the actors, imagine what else they're doing. Could be some really good stuff if Scott shows a bit of restraint and "fixes" the movie in a Star Trek: TMP type way and not a Star Wars: SE way. And thankfully he's not going to deny us the other existing versions so even if the new one sucks (which I doubt) we'll have our preferred versions. lujho by wonkabar on Wed Apr 25, 2007 5:33 pm Jesus Christ, just come out with it already! wonkabar CHIEF OF THE BEEF Location: The Double Douche by St. Alphonzo on Wed Apr 25, 2007 5:51 pm Yeah, but for the love of God don't let it be: Blade Runner - The "We've fucked with it, now there's three versions" Edition.

I think it was: Domestic version (the one with the narration) TV version #1 (with violence) TV version #2 (without violence) Workprint #1 Workprint #2 (which was released and led to....) I think that, seeing how it's Zhora who's been doing the re-shooting, that it may just be fixing the very obvious technical gaffes involved with her death scene, where her body double is obvious and also a body stocking that is very obvious when she's supposed to be nearly naked. re-shooting her scenes wholesale sounds drastic and rather pointless. For all we know the "re-shooting" is just in front of a greenscreen for some digital head replacement or something. by silentbobafett on Fri Apr 27, 2007 3:41 am I THINK THIS IS VERY FUCKIGN EXCITING! CASSIDY/REPLICANT ZORA SHOOTS NEW SCENES! Here's a surprising factoid - twenty five years after its theatrical release, new scenes were shot for Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" it would seem. Since the DVD format became popular, fans have been clamoring for Scott's "final cut" of the film, his true definitive version of the sci-fi epic rather than the rushed 1992 "Director's Cut" which Scott has publicly stated he was unhappy with. Though work began in 2000 on the disc set, legal issues and other factors have delayed it for years. Then late last year it was confirmed that the film would be finally coming out in a massive multi-disc box set sometime in the second half of 2007 to celebrate the film's 25th anniversary. Anticipation remains high. Scott's "Legend" and "Kingdom of Heaven", two films which received mixed reaction upon release, scored lavish 'final cut' DVD editions in the last few years with the longer versions garnering far more acclaim than their original counterparts. In any case this week saw a surprising new twist in the story. Actress Joanna Cassidy, famous for playing the Replicant Zhora in "Blade Runner", released the following comment on her official site: This is surprising news, begging the question of how much new footage was shot and what impact it will have on the final cut. I'll update you with more as it happens. by DinoDeLaurentiis on Fri Apr 27, 2007 10:34 am Uh, Boba? What part of a the Lujho's post from about a the 6 posts back dinna you understand, eh?

RIDLEY SCOTT'S ALL-NEW "FINAL CUT" VERSION OF THE FILM Restored and remastered with added & extended scenes, added lines, new and cleaner special effects and all new 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio. Also includes: - Commentary by Ridley Scott - Commentary by Executive Producer/ Co-Screenwriter Hampton Fancher and Co-Screenwriter David Peoples; Producer Michael Deely and production executive Katherine Haber - Commentaries by visual futurist Syd Mead; production designer Lawrence G. Paull, art director David L. Snyder and special photographic effects supervisors Douglas Trumbull, Richard Yuricich and David Dryer DOCUMENTARY - DANGEROUS DAYS: MAKING BLADE RUNNER A feature-length authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history. Disc Three 1982 THEATRICAL VERSION This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene. 1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version. 1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests {SHRUNKEN FOR POSSIBLE SPOILERS} that he, too, may be a replicant.

It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more. - Commentary by Paul M.

__label__wiki	0.671267	0.671267	WW2 Baltic Naval Campaign Game 2 : Shore Bombardment Team Germany. This is a continuation of our WW2 Baltic Naval Campaign, you can find the first game by following this link - http://yarkshiregamer.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/ww2-baltic-naval-campaign-game-1-daily.html Umpire Notes If you are following the Campaign I use the following system to determine the condition of any ship damaged in the previous game. Half any damage or speed loss and use that as the starting point for that ship for that game. Any turret / Torpedo Tube losses, I roll a d6 with a 50% chance that the equipment is now working again. A relatively short game I gave one evening gaming session to it. Game 2 Background The German advance on land continues a pace and the supply route into Riga is relatively secure. It's late July 1941, just a few days after our first game and we are back at Sea again with a German Task Force supplying some support to the Land Forces with a Shore Bombardment whilst the Russians are on a sortie to stop them. Game 2 Map The eagle eyed will notice we are on the same map as game 1, the numbered sections are for mines and submarines as described in the first post. Game 2 Soviet Briefing Team Soviet Following the action against the Jackbooted Fascist Naval Forces a few days ago and following the arrival of Kriegsmarine units the Supreme Command has authorised a Sortie in strength into the Gulf of Riga. The remnants of the Old Destroyers from the first game are available to you however any surviving Minelaying Destroyers have returned to port for refitting. You have one submarine on patrol, inform the Umpire of their location before the game begins. The areas of pre laid mines remain in location. Air support is as per Game 1. Soviet Fleet Heavy Cruiser - Maxim Gorky Destroyer Leader - Lenningrad Destroyers - Gnevnyi, Grozyashchi, Surovyi and Skorkyi. Plus any remaining Novik Class Destroyers from the first game. First shot of the game. Game 2 German Briefing Having stamped our Glorious mark on the Soviet Navy it is our duty to help our land based volk against the Bolshevik hordes. You have been joined by the 2 Light Cruisers and supporting Torpedo Boats. Your specific objective is to shell the front line positions (on the table edge between D2 and D3) from a distance of less than 60cms for three turns with at least one Light Cruiser. Air support is as per Game 1, mines remain in place. Light Cruisers - Leipzig and Eden Torpedo Boats - T4, T5, T7 and T8 Plus all surviving ships from game 1, we had Destroyer Z20 and T2 The first game of the Campaign saw honours even, yes the Russians had lost three Destroyers but they were old obsolete models and there are plenty more newer and better ships back in port, however both sides completed their mission objectives. Game 2 was going to be a bit different. Strike one to the Russians We started off with a bit of a long range duel between Maxim Gorky and the German Light Cruisers, the Germans were getting hits but bouncing off the Russian Cruisers armour. The slow firing Russian guns were getting the odd hit and causing minor damage to Leipzig. The clue for the Russians was that the German guns weren't penetrating their armour but the "Close with the enemy so I can hit them with my sword" virus took hold and the fleets converged. With no aircraft turning up in the first 8 turns is was all down to the ships. The first turn that the Leipzig was in effective range she hit paydirt on the Maxim, two hits taking out a turret and the ships Rudder in one turn. And that single round of fire led to a fairly spectacular sequence of events which would turn Game 2 into a disaster for the Soviet Navy. To make matters worse the Destroyer Leader Lenningrad suffered a Bridge hit causing it to disengage. Turn 10 was a Demolition Derby for the Russians, the Soviet Destroyer Surovyi rammed into the rudderless Maxim Gorky causing both ships damage but even worse they slowed to a stop in front of a Torpedo Track, there was nothing to do but brace for impact. On top of that two of the remaining Russian Destroyers Grozyashchi and Skorkyi managed to collide with each other, to conclude one of the worse turns for one side I think I have ever seen. The next turn wasn't any better, the Torpedo attack on Maxim Gorky hit it's mark, the stationary Cruiser suffered a series of internal explosions causing her to rapidly sink taking the Surovyi with her. The Russian Airforce finally turned up but unfortunately for them so did the Luftwaffe and the Bf109s made swift work of the old Ar2 Bombers. The remnants of the Soviet Fleet made best speed for port leaving the German ships to complete their mission without opposition. The next game (which is on the table) covers the Tallinn Convoys, a big win for the Germans in this game, the loss of the Maxim Gorky could be quite crucial in the later games. Labels: 1/3000 WW2 Naval, Game Report / AAR, Scenario 28mm Empress SCW Cavalry After a slightly crazy month, I have a spot of catching up to do on the blogging and gaming front. First up is my attempt at some 28mm Spanish Civil War Cavalry. The figures come from the most excellent range sold by Empress Miniatures. I bought these at the York show in 2016, a unit deal of 10 figures for £36, they must be alright as I bought another 10 this year. As you would expect with the Empress Range the figures are lovely sculpts and nicely detailed. The horses are separate from the figures which is ideal for me as I paint horses on a white undercoat with oils and figures in acrylic with a black undercoat. The figures do come out rather nicely, I haven't decided yet how I am going to organise them as a unit for our SCW games but they will definitely add a new dimension to what is already one of my favourite periods. For those of you who are looking at buying a set of these lovely figures, they do come with a separate Sword which sits on the side of Horse, I chose to leave these off, they are gaming pieces first and I have a "if it might fall off, leave it off" rule. One small quibble with this set is the difference between the Officer and the Bugler. The Officer is a slightly larger figure whose Horse, at the saddle, is 3 or 4 mm higher. That and the poses make the Bugler look absolutely tiny. It's a small point but it's the first thing I see when I look at them. A Grand addition to the SCW collection. 28mm "Blakes 7" Cally, Gann, Jenna, Blake, Avon, Orac and Vila For a number of years now I have been coveting these gorgeous figures but took ages to a) Get round to buying them as they are not my standard historical fare and b) getting the things painted. Thankfully this year's Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge had a bonus TV / Movie round, the excuse has landed. Gann was a bit shy when this one was taken. I am pretty sure that this fantastic TV show, filmed in the late 70s and early 80s didn't travel very far outside the UK and I don't recall it being repeated either, so those under 40 might not even be aware of the programme. It certainly seems that way when I posted these to the AHPC site. Cally and Jenna with Orac I loved the show back then and still do today, the low budget and creaking sets are there for all to see but so is the great writing and fantastic characters who all had their own interesting and often ambiguous motives. Cally front and back. The story followed a group of renegades out for revenge (or money / power !) battling against the "evil" Federation led by the scheming Servillan (to be painted soon). Blake was the Rebels leader (or was he ?), backed up by Avon a general rogue who was out for himself (or was he ?), Gann the gentle giant with a brain implant to restrict his violence. Vila the cowardly thief, Cally the telepath, Jenna the Smuggler and Orac the super computer. The real cast and show logo. The figures themselves are heroic 28mm in scale and I bought them from Crooked Dice Miniatures under the title Future Freedom Fighters, there has been a recent split in the ranks of that company and I understand that these figures will now be sold under the new company name of Beast in the Broch. Jenna front and back. Regular viewers will know that my normal bag is historical figures so these are a bit of a departure from the norm for me. I also generally paint Figs in batches of 8 to 10 where as these were all painted individually which is a real change in technique. Blake and Gann The seven figures here represent the classic (in my mind) cast of the series which was active throughout most of the first two series. Major changes were made in series 3, Gann had already gone part way through series 2 to make it Blakes 6 and then at the end of series 2 Jenna disappeared and Blake was shot believed dead (although he did turn up at the end of series 4). The show ran for 4 series each of 13 episodes. There has been a series of radio plays over the years often featuring members of the original cast however recently there have been very strong rumours of a resurrection of the show which would be fantastic news. I have the figures to do the remaining characters who joined the crew over the series plus two later period Avon and Vila minis, added to which are the bad guys, but more of them soon.

It is part of the southern Ruhr urban area and has ca. 324,000 inhabitants (2012). The district's seat (capital city) is Schwelm; the largest of its nine towns is Witten. Map of Ennepe Ruhr Kreis, Germany Adjacent cities and districts Map of Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis, Germany The name of the district describes its geographical location – it is located in the valleys of the rivers Ruhr and Ennepe. Geologically it is part of the north-eastern Rhenish Massif, a Mittelgebirge landscape; only small parts of Witten belong to the flat Westphalian Lowland. The district consists of nine municipalities, all entitled "Stadt" (town or city). The Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the district-free cities of Bochum, Dortmund and Hagen, the districts of Märkischer Kreis (with Schalksmühle and Halver) and Oberbergischer Kreis (with Radevormwald), the city of Wuppertal, the district of Mettmann (with Velbert) and the city of Essen. The district was created in 1929 by merging the former district of Schwelm with parts of the former districts of Hattingen and Hagen. In 1970 and 1975 it was modified a bit during the reorganization of the districts in North Rhine-Westphalia; most notable was the inclusion of the previously independent city of Witten in 1975. In the middle of the coat of arms there is the checked red-white bar of the County of Mark, which owned the area in medieval times. The two wavy lines above and below depict the two rivers which gave the district its name, the Ruhr and the Ennepe.

Fritsche, Matthias Horn, Michael Wagner, Russell P. Herwig, Karl-Heinz Schleifer, Romesh K. Gautom Thomas R. Fritsche Department of Laboratory Medicine 1 and Matthias Horn Lehrstuhl für Mikrobiologie, Technische Universität München, 85350 Freising, Germany 2 ; and Russell P. Herwig School of Fisheries, 3 University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195; Karl-Heinz Schleifer Romesh K. Gautom Washington State Public Health Laboratory, Seattle, Washington 98155 4 DOI: 10.1128/AEM.66.6.2613-2619.2000 The recently proposed reorganization of the orderChlamydiales and description of new taxa are broadening our perception of this once narrowly defined taxon. We have recovered four strains of gram-negative cocci endosymbiotic inAcanthamoeba spp., representing 5% of theAcanthamoeba sp. isolates examined, which displayed developmental life cycles typical of members of theChlamydiales. One of these endosymbiont strains was found stably infecting an amoebic isolate recovered from a case of amoebic keratitis in North America, with three others found in acanthamoebae recovered from environmental sources in North America (two isolates) and Europe (one isolate). Analyses of nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences of these isolates by neighbor joining, parsimony, and distance matrix methods revealed their clustering with other members of the Chlamydiales but in a lineage separate from those of the genera Chlamydia, Chlamydophila,Simkania, and Waddlia (sequence similarities, <88%) and including the recently described speciesParachlamydia acanthamoebae (sequence similarities, 91.2 to 93.1%). With sequence similarities to each other of 91.4 to 99.4%, these four isolates of intra-amoebal endosymbionts may represent three distinct species and, perhaps, new genera within the recently proposed family Parachlamydiaceae. Fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes targeted to 16S rRNA signature regions were able to readily differentiate two groups of intra-amoebal endosymbionts which corresponded to two phylogenetic lineages. These results reveal significant phylogenetic diversity occurring among theChlamydiales in nontraditional host species and supports the existence of a large environmental reservoir of related species. Considering that all described species of Chlamydiales are known to be pathogenic, further investigation of intra-amoebal parachlamydiae as disease-producing agents is warranted. All members of the orderChlamydiales are recognized pathogens of mammals, marsupials, or birds. The ability to produce respiratory disease, among other clinical presentations, is a feature of most species within the order and is especially characteristic of infections produced byChlamydophila pneumoniae, Chlamydophila psittaci, certain serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis, and the recently described species Simkania negevensis (20, 21,23). The recent finding of evidence for seroconversion to antigen of Parachlamydia acanthamoebae, an intra-amoebalChlamydia-like bacterium, in a small number of humans experiencing community-acquired pneumonia, along with the findings of novel Parachlamydia-related 16S rRNA sequences in respiratory specimens, peripheral blood, and aortic tissue, suggests that this and related species of protozoal endosymbionts may also be of clinical significance, warranting further investigation (2, 5,30). Previously, we have reported on the common occurrence of uncultured bacterial endosymbionts in protozoa of the genusAcanthamoeba (13). While 20% of axenically growing Acanthamoeba isolates recovered from clinical and environmental sources were found to be host to gram-negative rod endosymbionts, 5% were host to gram-negative coccus endosymbionts; none could be cultured by standard microbiological techniques. Phylogenetic analyses of the gram-negative rod endosymbionts to date have included two lineages of alpha-Proteobacteria: one containing Rickettsiales-affiliated isolates and the other containing isolates related to the Paramecium caudatumsymbiont Caedibacter caryophilus (14, 18). Subsequent ultrastructural studies of the coccoid endosymbionts demonstrated the presence of a developmental cycle suggestive of a relationship to members of the Chlamydiales (R. Gautom, R. Herwig, and T. R. Fritsche, Abstr. 96th Gen. Meet. Am. Soc. Microbiol., abstr. R-29, p. 474). In this paper, we present further morphologic and phylogenetic analyses of four isolates of Chlamydiales endosymbionts found naturally infecting Acanthamoeba sp. trophozoites, three of which were recovered from environmental amoebic isolates originating in North America (two isolates) and Europe (one isolate), and one which was from amoebae infecting the corneal tissues of a patient in North America. Because these bacterial isolates could not be cultivated by standard microbiological techniques, we applied the culture-independent ribosomal RNA (rRNA) approach to determine phylogenetic relatedness to each other and to other strains for which sequence data are available. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with oligonucleotide probes designed to target ribosomal signature regions was used to verify the origin of the retrieved sequences and further assist with characterization of these endosymbionts. The finding of a potentially large environmental reservoir of intracellularChlamydia-like organisms has implications for the evolution of Chlamydiales and their preadaptation and ultimate recruitment to higher animals. (Portions of this work were presented as an abstract at the 96th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in New Orleans, La., 1996.) Isolation and maintenance of Acanthamoebastrains.The techniques used for recovery and maintenance of acanthamoebae from clinical and environmental sources have been described in detail elsewhere (13, 39). Four isolates ofAcanthamoeba spp. were included in this study and were recovered from infected corneal tissues (UWC22), soil samples from western Washington State (UWE1 and UWE25), and municipal sewage sludge from Munich, Germany (TUME1). All isolates were found to have gram-negative cocci occurring as endosymbionts within the cytoplasm which could be readily demonstrated using Giemsa, Hemacolor (Harleco, Gibstown, N.Y.), and other appropriate bacterial stains. The general phenotypic characteristics of three of these endosymbiont strains (UWE1, UWE25, and UWC22) have been described previously (13). Electron microscopy.Amoebic isolates containing endosymbionts were examined by electron microscopy using a variation of published methods (16). Briefly, aliquots of amoebae in broth were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate. Fixed amoebae were then pelleted in agar and embedded. Thin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and examined with a Phillips CM-10 electron microscope. DNA isolation and PCR amplification of nearly full-length 16S rDNA.UWC22, UWE1, and UWE25 amoebae in log-phase growth were pelleted, washed three times with cold (4°C) sterile distilled water, and freeze-thawed three times followed by aspiration and expulsion through a 24-gauge needle. The cell slurry was resuspended in 5 ml of cold (4°C) sterile physiologic (0.15 M) saline and gently centrifuged (5 min at 120 × g). The supernatant was filtered through a 5-μm syringe filter, and the bacteria were pelleted by centrifugation (10 min at 3,000 × g). Extraction of bacterial DNA was performed by standard procedures (34). Amplification of ribosomal gene sequences of these three isolates was performed with 1 μg of extracted DNA using fD1 (5′-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG-3′) and rP2 (5′-ACGGCTACCTTGTTACGACTT3′) broad-range eubacterial primers (40) along with standard Gen Amp reagents (Perkin-Elmer, Norwalk, Conn.) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Thermal cycling consisted of 35 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 1.5 min, annealing at 42°C for 1 min, and elongation at 72°C for 4 min; cycling was completed with a final elongation step of 20 min. TUME1 amoebae were harvested from axenic cultures, washed twice with double-distilled water, and resuspended in 500 μl of UNSET lysis buffer (8 M urea, 0.15 M NaCl, 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS], 0.001 M EDTA, 0.1 M Tris-HCl [pH 7.5]) at 60°C for 5 min (19). Lysates were extracted twice with phenol-chloroform, and DNA was precipitated with 2 volumes of absolute ethanol. Oligonucleotide primers targeting 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) signature regions that are conserved within the Chlamydiales were used for PCR to obtain nearly full-length bacterial 16S rRNA gene fragments of TUME1 (32). Forward and reverse primer sequences were 5′-CGGATCCTGAGAATTTGATC-3′ (Escherichia coli 16S rDNA positions −2 to 18) and 5′-TGTCGACAAAGGAGGTGATCCA-3′ (E. coli 16S rDNA positions 1554 to 1537), respectively. Amplification reactions were performed in a reaction volume of 50 μl in a thermal capillary cycler with reaction mixtures, including a 20 mM MgCl2 reaction buffer, prepared as recommended by the manufacturer (Idaho Technology, Idaho Falls, Idaho) with Taq DNA polymerase (Promega, Madison, Wis.). Thermal cycling consisted of an initial denaturation step at 94°C for 30 s, followed by 30 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 20 s, annealing at 50°C for 15 s, and elongation at 72°C for 30 s, with a final elongation step at 72°C for 1 min. Positive controls containing purified DNA from E. coli were included along with negative controls (no DNA added). The presence and size of all amplification products were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining. Cloning and sequence analysis.Amplified DNA from UWC22, UWE1, and UWE25 was purified by electrophoresis in low-melting-point agarose and ligated into the cloning vector Bluescript II (Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.), while amplified DNA from TUME1 was ligated directly into the cloning vector pCR2.1 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.), with subsequent transformation of E. coli by each vector. The nucleotide sequences of the cloned DNA fragments were determined by automated dideoxynucleotide methods with the Taq Dye Deoxy Terminator cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) for UWC22, UWE1, and UWE25 and the Thermo Sequenase cycle sequencing kit (Amersham Life Science, Little Chalfont, England) for TUME1. Phylogenetic analysis.Obtained sequences were added to the 16S rRNA sequence database maintained at the Technische Universität München (encompassing about 16,000 published and unpublished homologous small-subunit rRNA primary structures). Alignment of the new sequences was performed using the program package ARB and its automated alignment tool (O. Strunk and W. Ludwig,www.biol.chemie.tu-muenchen.de/pub/ARB/), with refinement of positioning by visual inspection and by secondary-structure analysis. The ARB parsimony, distance matrix, and maximum-likelihood treeing methods, combined with and without use of filters which exclude highly variable regions, were applied to different data sets. Oligonucleotide probes and FISH.Oligonucleotide probes Bn9658 (a probe described previously [2]), specific for P. acanthamoebae and targeting E. coli positions 658 to 675) and C22658 (designed from sequence data derived in this study from the endosymbiont infectingAcanthamoeba sp. isolate UWC22) were used to differentiate between two groups of endosymbionts (Table1). Probe C22658 is designated S-*-ParaC-0658-a-A-18 according to the standard proposed by Alm et al. (1). Both probes were synthesized and directly labeled with the hydrophilic sulfoindocyanine dye Cy3 or Cy5 (Interactiva, Ulm, Germany). Overall sequence similarities for retrieved 16S rRNA sequences of endosymbionts of Acanthamoeba sp. strains UWE1, UWE25, UWC22, and TUME1 and representative members of the Chlamydiales For in situ hybridization studies, infected amoebic isolates UWC22, UWE25, and TUME1 were washed with Page's saline (39), and living cells were allowed to adhere to six-well slides for 3 h, followed by a single 10-s dip in sterile distilled water, a single 10-s dip in 80% ethanol for fixation and dehydration, and air drying. Amoebae were hybridized at 46°C with the fluorescently labeled probes according to published methods (35), but without SDS in the hybridization and washing buffers. Optimal hybridization stringency conditions were determined for each probe, including formamide concentrations used in the hybridization buffer (25). Positive and negative controls were carried out with probes Eub338 (targeting most members of the domain Bacteria) and Bet42a (specific for the beta subgroup of proteobacteria) (25). Slides were examined with a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM 510; Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) equipped with two HeNe lasers (543 and 633 nm) and optical sectioning capabilities. Image analysis processing was performed with the standard software package delivered with the instrument (version 1.5). Nucleotide sequence accession numbers.The recovered 16S rDNA sequences have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbersAF083616 (endosymbiont of Acanthamoeba sp. UWC22), AF083614(endosymbiont of Acanthamoeba sp. UWE1), AF083615(endosymbiont of Acanthamoeba sp. UWE25), and AF098330(endosymbiont of Acanthamoeba sp. TUME1). Morphologic analyses.As seen by light microscopy, the organisms are coccoid in appearance and stain gram negative. Use of Giemsa and related stains revealed that they are dispersed throughout the cytoplasm and do not form discrete inclusions, although small clusters and morulae are occasionally noted (Fig.1A). By electron microscopy, large numbers of cocci are seen in each amoebic trophozoite and display a developmental life cycle typical of Chlamydiales, consisting of smaller electron-dense forms (elementary bodies) and larger dividing forms (reticulate bodies) (Fig. 1B and C). Rather than growing as discrete intravacuolar inclusions, the bacteria are found dispersed throughout the cytoplasm but appear to be surrounded by vacuolar membranes which insinuate themselves around each bacterial cell (Fig.1C). Some bacteria are found in food vacuoles but appear to be in various stages of disintegration; these forms may have been nonviable bacteria released from other amoebae previously and phagocytosed. When present in amoebic cysts, the bacteria appear to form inclusions and lack evidence of a developmental cycle, suggesting that they are in a resting state (Fig. 1D).

Comparative sequence results and phylogenetic analysis.Nearly full-length 16S rDNA sequences from the four endosymbiont strains were amplified, cloned, and sequenced. Comparative sequence analysis using parsimony, distance matrix, and maximum-likelihood treeing methods revealed that the four clustered unequivocally with other members of the Chlamydiales but formed a lineage with P. acanthamoebae and, more distantly, S. negevensis andWaddlia chondrophila that is distinct fromChlamydia and Chlamydophila spp. (Fig.2). Further analysis of tree topology revealed the presence of two lineages of intra-amoebal endosymbionts: one contains the closely related isolates UWC22 and TUME1 (99.1% sequence similarity), and a second includes UWE1, UWE25, and P. acanthamoebae (sequence similarities of 91.5 to 93.2%). All four isolates warrant inclusion, along with P. acanthamoebae, in the recently proposed family Parachlamydiaceae and may represent up to three new genera and species (Table 1) (11,36). With sequence similarities of 83.5 to 88.2% and 84.2 to 87.9% to all other Chlamydiales, S. negevensisand W. chondrophila, respectively, would appear to reside in separate families, as has been proposed (11). Neighbor-joining dendrogram showing phylogenetic relationships of the coccoid endosymbionts of Acanthamoebasp. isolates UWC22, TUME1, UWE1, and UWE25 to other members of theChlamydiales and outgroups (bar represents estimated evolutionary distance). FISH analysis.The oligonucleotide probe Bn9658, specific for P. acanthamoebae, fully matched the corresponding sequence in endosymbionts from Acanthamoebasp. strains UWE1 and UWE25, whereas probe C22658 was designed to recognize the endosymbionts present inAcanthamoeba sp. strains UWC22 and TUME1 (Fig.3). These probes displayed two mismatches between each other and at least three mismatches to other members of the Chlamydiales and other bacteria. Difference alignment of the 16S rRNA region of intra-amoebal Chlamydiales targeted by probes Bn9658 and C22658 with their correspondingE. coli positions; other bacterial species showing 2 to 4 nucleotide mismatches are also noted. Dots represent nucleotide matches. The probe Bn9658 gave strong signals when applied to the endosymbiont of Acanthamoeba sp. strain UWE25 and no signal when applied to the endosymbionts of strains UWC22 and TUME1, whereas probe C22658 gave strong signals when applied to the endosymbionts of UWC22 and TUME1 and no signal when applied to the endosymbionts of UWE25 (Fig. 4). Both probes performed optimally at a formamide concentration of 30% when applied separately, determined on the basis of a formamide dilution series (25). Because the two probes act as competitors for the same hybridization site, differentiation of the two groups of endosymbionts in mixed cultures using both probes simultaneously was demonstrated at a formamide concentration of 10% in the hybridization buffer and a hybridization temperature of 46°C. The optimal formamide concentration for the horseradish peroxidase-labeled probe Bn9658 had been described previously as 40% at a hybridization temperature of 35°C (2). Horseradish peroxidase cannot be used at the higher temperature, requiring a higher concentration of formamide to achieve the same hybridization stringency. FISH reactions demonstrating the application of specific oligonucleotide probes to the detection of intracellularChlamydia-like endosymbionts of Acanthamoeba spp. (A) Positive reaction of the Cy-5 (blue)-labeled probe Bn9658 with the endosymbionts of UWE25 amoebae. (B) Positive reaction of the Cy-3 (red)-labeled probe C22658 with the endosymbionts of UWC22 amoebae. (C) Positive reactions with probes Bn9658 (blue) and C22658 (red) and their abilities to simultaneously differentiate between the UWC22 and UWE25 endosymbionts following a 3-h cocultivation of infected amoebic trophozoites. In some cases bacteria released from one amoebic isolate are seen to have been taken up by the other amoebic isolate during cocultivation. Bars, 15 μm. Phylogenetically, members of the Chlamydiales comprise a unique bacterial assemblage which is highly divergent from other groups within the domain Bacteria in the 16S rDNA-based universal tree. Among the Bacteria, rDNA sequence analysis has revealed their closest relatives to be members of thePlanctomycetales, a group of free-living, mostly aquatic bacteria which also display developmental cycles (10). While little is known about the evolution of traditionalChlamydiales species, the recent description of theParachlamydiaceae occurring as endosymbionts in protozoa, specifically Acanthamoeba spp., has measurably broadened the possible evolutionary origins of the group (2,11). Of the six isolates of Parachlamydiaceaedescribed in the literature for which partial or nearly full-length 16S rDNA sequencing has been performed, including the four presented here, sequence dissimilarities suggest the existence of up to four genera and species; two of the isolates studied previously appear to be highly (>99% sequence similarity) related (2, 5). The finding of additional related endosymbionts in these and other protozoa would therefore not be surprising, given the species diversity and geographic range noted to date, and suggests that a large environmental reservoir for them may exist. We conclude that the phylogenetic diversity of theChlamydiales is extensive but is underrepresented in the literature as a result of bias towards the study of species recognized as being medically and economically important. Considering that all described species of Chlamydiales are known to be pathogenic and capable of producing respiratory tract disease, among other clinical presentations, analysis of the intra-amoebal forms for pathogenic potential should be stressed as well. Recently, seroepidemiologic evidence has been presented that “Hall's coccus,” an endosymbiont of acanthamoebae which appears to be identical to P. acanthamoebae, may be responsible for some cases of community-acquired pneumonia (5). Other evidence comes from the amplification of Chlamydiales16S rDNA fragments (216 to 224 bp) in respiratory tract specimens from humans with pulmonary disease, an aortic specimen, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells using broad-range primers designed to detect any member of the order (29). While sequences characteristic ofChlamydophila pneumoniae (three specimens) andChlamydia trachomatis (one specimen) were recovered from the 42 respiratory specimens examined, four sequences (two respiratory, one blood, and one aortic tissue) were also detected which group in the second major Chlamydiales lineage, which includes theSimkaniaceae and Parachlamydiaceae. BecauseS. negevensis (Fig. 2) has been reported to cause both community-acquired pneumonia in adults and acute bronchiolitis in infants (20, 23), further analysis of theParachlamydiaceae as disease-producing agents should be undertaken. Acanthamoebae and other free-living protozoa are uniquely positioned ecologically to support the dissemination of environmental respiratory pathogens. Able to colonize water supply, cooling, and humidification systems, they also serve as amplification vehicles and possibly reservoirs for Mycobacterium avium and a variety ofLegionella spp.; even C. pneumoniae has been shown to survive and replicate within acanthamoebae (8, 9, 12, 27,29, 33, 37). Such intraprotozoal multiplication followed by aerosolization and inhalation of bacterium-laden vesicles has been proposed as a mechanism to explain the epidemiology of legionellosis and the apparent lack of case-to-case spread (4, 6). The ubiquity of acanthamoebae in the environment, the presence of a resistant cyst stage, and their ability to support growth of a variety of intracellular pathogens make them prime suspects in the epidemiology of respiratory disease caused by other organisms as well. Many free-living protozoa mimic the role of professional phagocytes in their abilities to ingest and destroy large numbers of bacteria. Such bacterium-protozoan interactions have undoubtedly provided selective pressure resulting in the emergence of environmental species capable of escaping intracellular destruction, which are known to includeLegionella spp., Burkholderia pickettii,Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio cholerae, andM. avium, among others (3, 7, 24, 26, 37, 38). The adaptation of legionellae and M. avium to an intracellular existence in free-living protozoa may also have been a driving force in the evolution of virulence mechanisms which permit their survival within pulmonary macrophages (3, 22, 37). While many species of facultative bacteria develop in and ultimately lyse their protozoal host, a variety of obligate endosymbionts of ciliates and amoebae are well known to stably infect their host, suggesting the occurrence of longer-term coevolution (15, 17,31). The Parachlamydia-like endosymbionts described here also appear to be well adapted to their natural amoebic hosts and have been maintained in continuous cultivation for several years. The presence of these bacteria in amoebic cysts in an apparent nondividing resting stage (Fig. 1D) further supports the stable symbiotic nature of the relationship. Considering that, until recently, all Chlamydiales were considered to be pathogenic, the finding of a potentially large environmental and geographically dispersed reservoir of related organisms which are adapted to stable intracellular growth in specific hosts provides an important link in the evolution of the order. The existence of a pool of protozoal symbionts stably adapted to the intracellular milieu may have provided the genetic material from which recruitment to vertebrates accidentally occurred, with the attendant appearance of pathogenic properties. Such recruitment would be facilitated by the frequent occurrence of these endosymbionts inAcanthamoeba spp. (and perhaps other protists), the ubiquity of acanthamoebae in the environment, and the ease with which these amoebae transiently colonize the respiratory tract of humans and animals (28).
